The Mapping Division is responsible for maintaining assessment parcel maps. There are nearly 7,000 maps depicting ownership and tax rate area boundaries for the purpose of assessment. Map Drafting Technicians create, revise and update maps based on recorded deeds, subdivision maps, parcel maps and records of survey.
They currently perform many of their drafting functions on personal computers using computer aided drafting (CAD) software. They often work with data files transmitted to them electronically by civil engineering firms and subsequently altered for assessment purposes, a system that has been very successful.
