Property Finder

Property finder is an interactive map used to make township Geographic information System (GIS) data available to the public. Information is displayed in the form of layers which can be turned on and off using the layer drop down menu. Data may be searched such as parcel ID number, address, property owner’s name, developments, and streets using specialized tasks. Other viewable data layers include aerial imagery, streets, water, sanitary, floodplain, parcels, developments, and base map layers.

Map Layers

Map LayersThe map layers can be accessed by clicking the Layer List symbol found in the lower middle of property finder. Layers

To turn a layer on or off, check or uncheck the eye symbol. Some layers are only accessible at certain zoom levels, so zooming in or out will make them appear or disappear. There are a variety of data layers available, which include Agriculture Security Area, Developments, Streets, Address Points, Water, Sanitary, Floodplain, Parcels , and NonAerialBaseMap. By default the basemap is the aerial imagery but if you wish to switch to a street basemap without the aerial turn on this layer.
