Tax Parcel Viewer

This item has been retired. Please see What's new for more information.

Overview

Tax Parcel Viewer is a configuration of ArcGIS and a JavaScript application that presents the general public property tax and assessment information and supplements that information with lifestyle and Internet broadband information for a given neighborhood. It is a single application that can be deployed by local governments and used by the general public on desktop computers, smartphones, or tablet devices.

The Tax Parcel Viewer offers a map-based view of tax parcel information that enables supporting agencies, organizations and the general public to locate an area of interest and review common information stored typically in a local government computer aided mass appraisal (CAMA) and tax receivables database. It provides a standard overview of property data in a community for consumers so they can view this information on all homes as they walk or drive through neighborhoods.

The application compliments the authoritative property characteristics with lifestyle and Internet broadband availability to give context to the individual interested in a given property. The broadband availability information comes from the National Broadband Map and reflects content collected during the National Broadband Inventory. Lifestyle information is provided by Esri Tapestry Segmentation. Esri Tapestry Segmentation classifies U.S. residential neighborhoods into 65 unique market segments based on socioeconomic and demographic characteristics and helps users understand the lifestyle and life stages of people residing in an area.
