It is possible to use survey results, deeds, and subdivision plans to create parcels. The first is the information's original source. Correctness of county parcelsĪ number of variables can influence the accuracy shown on tax maps of counties. They are designed to help the assessor when putting together the assessment roll. Each county gives tax maps to each local assessor.

Furthermore, changes in the size and number of parcels will require revisions.Ī tax map will show how much and where each property is located in the particular county. The dimensions of the parcel, or form must be updated and this requires a change to the tax map. The map needs to be kept up-to-date regularly. Each piece of taxable real estate should be noted on the tax map. These plots can be tax-free or exempt.ĭuring tax mapping, the tax map in its entirety is created. The map shows the link between the parcels and other parcels can then be shown. This is accomplished by determining the parcel’s dimensions, form, placement, and other details. It allows the assessors to locate each parcel, and then issue it with a Parcle Identification Number. Additionally, through interactive maps, users can be various important maps such as Flood Plain information, subdivisions and other geographically-based information.Cadastral parcel mapping is crucial to the evaluation of real estate. Users can simply search an address and get valuable information such as its zoning, which school districts serve it and who its elected officials are in Congress and the Illinois General Assembly. While the Community Map Viewer focuses on more on single properties, Know Your Neighborhood (also known as Community Portal) allows a more holistic view of the Village by letting users get information about their property as well as use interactive maps to see information about whole areas. The primary function is to enable the public to perform property searches, either by address or Property Identification Number (PIN), and answer questions about a specific property. The Community Map Viewer differs from commercial mapping sites, such as Google™ maps or MapQuest™, because it is an interactive GIS application that provides property information and mapping tasks to the general public, not simply a map.

For example, GIS can help the Village analyze data and prepare maps for the Capital Improvement Plan.

GIS is a key component of a number of Village operations because of its ability to visualize data and connect multiple data sources. GIS connects a community database to a geographic location, which allows for the efficient management, analysis and visualization of community information. In 2013 the Village joined the GIS Consortium, an organization of Chicago-area communities unified by a common goal: to share resources, information, staffing, and technology so that municipalities can optimize the value of geographic information systems (GIS).Ī geographic information system (GIS) lets us visualize, question, analyze, and interpret data to understand relationships, patterns, and trends.
