GIS/ValTech 2027

We at county jurisdictions strive for survey-accurate data on our tax maps and within our CAMA systems. Utilizing survey CAD files has been a mainstay in Ad Valorem mapping, drastically reducing drawing time. Copying and tracing CAD-provided parcel lines is a widely used technique. We are taking it a step further and reducing production time significantly by converting CAD provided annotation into our GIS software via a personalized GP tool. We'll go through the complete steps of receiving a CAD file, using the provided data to create tax, lot and subdivision parcels within our mapping software, then showing how we create custom geoprocessing tools and import CAD annotation, and finally inputting that data from our newly created parcels into CAMA, saving hours of work along the way, making our tax maps as accurate as possible.
