Online county mapping service available
JACKSON COUNTY
government has launched
an online mapping service
through Qpublic’s Quick
Access Network.
This mapping service allows
citizens and land owners to
view online maps of their tax
parcels. This service includes
parcel boundaries, aerial pho
tography and visual mapping
of the last three years of prop
erty sales.
“This is the first time this
service has ever been avail
able for Jackson County,”
said county GIS manager Joel
Logan. “Though we have used
Qpublic for regular parcel
records for many years, we
have never had an online map
ping service that showed the
parcels.”
Online mapping data will be
updated once a month by the
GIS department. The values
and tax roll data are maintained
and updated by the tax asses
sor’s property.
“If you find a property has
not been mapped out online it
is probably within the mapping
cycle and will be mapped in a
future update,” Logan said.
The website is www.qpublic.
