Using the WinGIS Property Search

Enter a property's address, minus street descriptions such as "Drive"(Dr) or "Lane(Ln)". For example, 404 W. Elm St would be "404 elm". Enter a property's pin with or without dashes. For example, 1234567890 or 12-34-567-890. Always keep in mind, the more specific the search the fewer the results. For example (when searching for parcel numbers) 1234567890 should return one result since it is an actual pin number, while 1234567 should return all parcel numbers that start with those 7 digits. Same principle applies for addresses. 11380 Main (unless of course, there is a 11380 N. Main and S. Main) will return single result, while 113 Main will return all addresses with 113 and Main in them.

Search Results


Results from your search will appear to the right of the search box. Each record will contain the property's parcel number and address as well as options to zoom to that location on that map, view parcel details or print.

Search Results

Printing


Each result of your search has a "Printable Map" link. This option opens a pop up window with an areal image (not a map that can be zoomed in or out, or panned in any direction) as well as parcel details.

Or, you can use the Print option under the File menu in your browser. This will simply print everything on the page.

Tips for Using the Map


To Pan the map to the east, west, north and south as well as diagonally (northwest, southeast, etc) use the arrows located on the top, bottom and sides of the map. Or, simply click on the map and drag in any direction to pan to the desired location.

You can also Zoom in and Zoom out in a variety of ways. Use can use the plus/minus buttons or, if you are using a mouse roll the scroll wheel forward and backward to zoom in and out, respectively. Lastly if you want to zoom in to a specific area while holding the Shift key on your keyboard, click and drag a box shape on the map. Once you have the desired area highlighted, simply let go and the map will zoom to that specified location.
