County highlights GIS tools, address administration and parcel viewer
Summary
Director Troy Wafner described the county GIS unit’s mapping, aerial photography, public parcel viewer and address administration process, including cooperation with 9-1-1 and a drone program; he urged municipalities to request maintained zoning layers.
The committee heard a detailed account of the county’s GIS work, which Wafner called an often-overlooked but essential part of planning. He encouraged municipalities and the public to use the county’s online parcel viewer and said the unit maintains aerial photography and creates story maps for public use.
Wafner described address administration as a surprising but important function: “If you wanna create a new street, there's actually a process they go through. They number the street. They get the street name approved along with folks at 9‑1‑1,” he said, noting the work helps first responders find locations. He also said the county operates a drone pilot to support aerial data collection.
