GIS Administration

As the managing partner for the LINK-GIS partnerships, the GIS Administration Department plays a crucial role in providing geospatial information services to city and county agencies, including fire, police, and EMS; the regional water and sanitation districts; property valuation administration; school districts; area businesses; and residents. This involves a wide range of mapping and data services to support emergency response, infrastructure planning, property assessment, education, commercial activities, and community development.

Typical activities include:

  • developing digital data, maps, databases, and on-line mapping;
  • fostering partnerships and coordinating related projects with other agencies; 
  • providing local leadership and expertise related to GIS activities; and
  • providing access to local GIS data and products.

The department’s staff is responsible for the production of accurate maps for realtors, appraisers, new home sites and individuals, providing digital data in the form of CDs or by email, web services, and creating topographic maps for new home sites.
