How does the Washington County government use the GIS mapping?
The GIS mapping database is relied upon heavily by the County government. Generally speaking, all official “spatial” or map-related data and records of Washington County government, including the mapping of all land parcels of record and the official Zoning Map of Washington County are part of the GIS mapping database. By making this mapping system available to the public, the Washington County government is permitting the public access to the same information County elected and appointed officials and employees use to make important decisions on a day-to-day basis.
