Nevada County: "My Neighborhood" Just a Click Away

Nevada County's My Neighborhood GIS web application gives citizens and employees access to geographically based data using a user-friendly map interface. The new GIS application puts state-of-the-art geospatial tools in the hands of the public, and save county staff time by empowering others to answer many of their own property-related questions. The application was developed entirely in-house by a GIS staff analyst. A user can navigate around the map and overlay various aerial photos, district boundaries, and points of interests such as schools and polling places. One can search by address or parcel number to quickly zoom to a parcel and launch a report with associated property values, zoning, building permits and more. County employees have the additional ability to upload addresses and place them on maps to answer questions, such as, "Where do the users of this library live?" The public Web site address is http://gis.nevcounty.net/MyNeighborhood/
