Street Map

Get a "lay of the land" with our Street Map page - see the location of parcels and the names of streets; use our powerful tools to gather insightful information about the surrounding area.

General Layout

With the Street Map page open, the Search Bar quickly pin-points a location on the Map (3). Simply enter an address into the Search Bar and the Map (3) will jump to the address location; the Property Info Panel (2) will update to display available information about the respective property.

2: Property Info Panel

This panel displays information about the property that is currently selected on the Map (3). It contains the same information, and in the same order, as the Property Page; however it is displayed in a condensed view to provide display space for the Map.

3: Map

The Map shows the spatial location of a searched or selected property. With a property selected, the Property Info Panel (3) displays it's details. You can scroll and zoom on the map and superimpose overlays/modifications via the Map Options Panel (4).

4: Map Options Panel

See the next section for details about each of the available options.

When you want to clear the map of any modifications or markup, simply refresh the page by clicking Refresh from your web browser.

The dimensions provided on this map are rough estimates and should not be taken as official measurements. Use the Tax Map Overlay to superimpose the official georeferenced Tax Map on the current street map. You can also refer to the Tax Map for official dimensions.

Locate

Similar to the Search Bar, use this option to locate a specific address or place of interest on the map. If you know the place name, such as a restaurant or an office building, you can search using the name, similar to how you would in Google Maps. This is handy when you don't know the specific address or the property owner's name.

You can also use this tool to search by the subject property's coordinates.
