New - Public Parcel Search - Beta

This is a new application that is to replace the current Public Parcel Search.  The application is built on newer technology and offers new tools and functionality to the end user.  This is beta version, with a few enhancements still in development.  If you encounter any problems, feel free to provide comments through the feedback button.  The County hopes the newer version will provide better services to its citizens and customers.  The current version of the Public Parcel Search will stay operating until we work through the testing phases of the new application.

Natural Resource Inventories
Web Mapping Application

Natural Resource Inventories (NRIs) are valuable tools that identify the biological and physical diversity of a landscape. NRIs describe the natural resources within a given area, identify major management issues of concern and offer stewardship strategies for natural resource management and protection. For citizens, land owners, and resource professionals alike, NRIs identify stewardship practices that can make a difference in resource protection, preservation, and improvement.
