Pulaski County commissioners approved a request to provide GIS parcel and mapping layers to a third‑party mortgage company, WTH, which regularly aggregates public property and address data for mortgage clients.

Teresa (county mapping/GIS staff) told the commission WTH requests public GIS layers such as addresses, parcel numbers, utilities and landmarks; the company compiles the data on behalf of mortgage firms and charges a fee for its work. Teresa said the county receives a $250 payment for providing the data via WTH and that the vendor performs the data gathering and processing; she said the arrangement has occurred previously earlier in the year.

The commissioners moved and seconded approval and passed the motion by voice vote. Staff said the data provided are public records and the county incurs no expense for the vendor’s work; the $250 check is returned to the county after WTH compiles and delivers the requested layers.

Teresa said she would proceed with the request once the commission approved it.
