Tigard Maps is an easy to use web-based tool for looking up commonly requested
information such as property information, crimes, permits, hazards, aerial photos,
utilities, and environmental information.
Entry into Tigard Maps is simple; enter an address or street intersection
and Tigard Maps begins processing through various geographic data and City systems.
If you don't have a full address, you can enter a partial address, such as a
house number or street, and review a list of candidates that you can choose from.
Purpose of Tigard Maps
Tigard Maps brings to the public a new paradigm in consolidating information from multiple sources
and different formats into one single map-based environment. Tigard Maps starts with an easy
entry point: just type in an address or intersection and off you go through a tab-based
mapping environment creating maps and reports maps on the fly.
Although the City maintains specialized systems for its many functions, such as issuing building
permits, police, streets, utilities, and planning, having a place where it's accessible and
presented in an easy to use environment has not been possible.
Realizing the public needed streamlined access to its wealth of information, the City embarked
on a 2 year project to create a seamless city-wide Geographic Information System, or GIS,
to integrate many of its business systems with something we all understand and read easily -- maps.
Maps communicate information much more quickly than traditional spreadsheets and reports. They also
allow you to see patterns that might not be so visible in a chart or graph. Tigard Maps bundles
a combination of reports, charts, and maps to give the community a comprehensive tool for looking
up information.
