Real Estate Maps - December 2011
Real Estate Maps
Catawba County is developing a new GIS Real Estate website because changes in technology are offering new opportunties for enhanced services.
Our new site is available in beta version for testing. We very much appreciate your feedback during the testing phase so that we
might develop the best product possible. There is an email link on the left hand side of the page you may use to provide your comments.
As you begin to type an address, an owner name, or a subdivision name; matches will be displayed below the input box. You may click on the appropriate match which will then zoom to a map of the property along with some report links on the right hand side of the map. The reports will open in another window after the link has been clicked.
Aerial photography for 2010 is currently available on this site. Aerials from previous years will be added as we continue our development.
We expect both real estate sites to be up and running for a while to allow for thorough testing and some planned enhancements. We will make a formal announcements before the new site replaces our current real estate site.

This web page allows you to searh ~260,000 address in the counties of Catawba, Alexander, Caldwell, and Iredell.
The searches are designed so that by entering a small portion of information you can choose from a drop down list of
matching addresses. Clicking on one of those addresses puts that address in a grid along with links to google and other online maps.
Regional Address Finder
In an effort to provide more efficient services, several counties in the Western Foothills of North Carolina
have joined together with ROK Technologies, a Charleston, SC firm specializing in GIS services, to create a regional GIS website.
The Western Foothills Regional GIS website allows users to locate addresses and property
owners in Alexander, Burke, Caldwell, Catawba, Iredell, Lincoln, and Wilkes counties...

When a Catawba County building permit is issued the printed permit card contains two QR Codes (QRC).
A free smart phone app can read the code and pull up the associated URL. The QRC on the right links to details for the building permit.
The QRC on the left links to a map of the property. Currently the map (sample) contains parcel lines, structures and a link to a detailed parcel report.
We will enhance the map based on user feedback. Please email
us with your suggestions or any issues displaying the map.
Here is a news article with more information.
Catawba County coordinated with the municipalities to develop and implement an Address Points Layer.
This layer allows every address in the county to be assigned to a specific point. One of the goals of this layer is to have the address points inside their corresponding structure. This is an ongoing project.
Prior to the development of the Address Points Layer, addresses were associated with a parcel. This layer associates addresses with a point on a parcel, and allows properties to contain multiple addresses.
The development of this layer did not change addressing responsibilities. The municipalities are responsible for addresses in their Planning Jurisdications and the County is responsible for addresses in its jurisdiction.
The Address Points will be used by the E911 Communciations Center. The GIS Real Estate and School Locator applications currently use the Address Points for their address searches.Prior to the development of the Address Points Layer, addresses were associated with a parcel. This layer associates addresses with a point on a parcel, and allows properties to contain multiple addresses.
Our School Locater application has been rewritten using Open Source software. Because of technology changes our
online mapping applications will be changing over the next several years. Open Source software is one option we are exploring for web mapping
as we move foward. By using Open Source software there is no cost to the County for the software packages used in developing the School Locator Service.
The service uses Open Layers, GeoExt, Ext JS,
Geoserver, Postgis, and Apache.
