About Tigard Mapping Services
Most of us learn and process information much faster when it is displayed in a map
rather than soley in a spreadsheet and report. Using this concept, Tigard Mapping
Services is a centralized source for maps and web mapping applications related to
various City functions and operations. Using Geographic Information Systems, or
GIS, the City maintains numerous thematic 'layers' and makes those layers available
to staff and the public in the form of maps.
Known as the integrating technology, GIS joins the many City maintained layers (such as zoning,
land use, boundaries, crime, utilities, assets, transportation, and planning data, as well as
many layers from other jurisdictions) with City business systems (e.g., permitting) and allows
for a truly integrated and highly efficient information system.
