<br />
<br />Cabarrus County
<br />Nodh Carolina
<br />
<br />When a parcel is selected on the GIS public access system the following information is
<br />displayed in a table below the graphical map:
<br />
<br />Owner, Address, Zip Code, Municipality, Real ID, Parcel Number,
<br />Tax Map, Deed Book and Page, Legal Description, Deeded
<br />Acreage, Front Footage, Sale Month/Year/Price, Total Value,
<br />Land Value, Building Value, Year Built, Elementary School
<br />District, High School District, Township, Voting Precinct, Fire
<br />District, Census Tract, Flood Zone, Soil Type, Zoning
<br />
<br />Only a few changes have been made since Cabarrus County implemented the GIS public
<br />access application in June 1997. Initially the application was quite slow, it took up to two
<br />minutes to display a map with text. The application ran beautifully when we removed the
<br />graphical map text. Our users immediately complained that the application was useless
<br />without text. They preferred the application slow with text. ESRI consultants came in
<br />and resolved our speed issue. We now have an acceptable response time with text
<br />displayed on the map. In response to user comments we have also added additional
<br />information for each parcel. The county GIS staff now provides in-house updates and
<br />enhancements to the application code and data structure.
<br />
<br />The GIS public access application is used internally by citizens at public access stations
<br />located in the Land Records depaxhnents. GIS public access is also used internally by the
<br />Tax, Land Records, Revaluation, Board of Elections, Planning, Building Inspections,
<br />Zoning, and GIS using workstations located on their desktops. Our external Interact users
<br />include; Economic Development, local municipalities, real estate agents, developers,
<br />utility companies, Water and Sewer Authority, citizens, and of course, web-surfers.
