What is the PIN
number?
PIN stands for "Parcel
Identification Number". It is a unique record identifier
that can be used to locate a parcel of land in the GIS system.
The first 12 digits are the most significant ones. The first
four designate the Tile number, the next two, the Sub-tile number,
the next two the Block number and the final four are the actual
parcel ID number. The PIN generated as a result of a combination
of the Northing and Easting of the geometric center of the parcel.
Are Latitude and
Longitude available on the GIS site?
Yes. At the initail page of the webgis
site, you will be given three choices of applications
to use, ArcIMS, Parcel QuickSearch, and MobileSearch.
If you select ArcIMS, when you reach the map screen,
by placing the cursor anywhere on the map, you will
see a coordinate readout at the bottom of your web
browser.
Can I search with
the PIN number in ArcIMS?
Yes. Syntax is important
here. Select the "Query" button from the toolbar at
the top of the map. When the "Query Builder" window
pops up, leave the "Layer" field at default, find the
field "Tax Parcel No.(text)" in the "Fields" field.
By double-clicking on this field, you will see the word "PIN" appear
in the "Query" field. Select the "=" button
on the screen, and key in the first twelve digits
of the PIN. You should add an apostrophe before the first digit
and after the last digit, then hit the "execute" button.
You should be able to select the "highlight" option
from the record displayed to see the map.
Is there an easier
way to search by PIN?
Yes! By selecting "Parcel
QuickSearch" you can quickly and easily search using the
PIN. The application begins with a page that allows you to select
a search method based on the information you have.
Can I search using
a physical address?
Not at this point. The Avery County Mapping Department
is currently working on a data layer that will not
only allow you to search using a physical address but
will also allow you to locate individual condo units
as well! Look for that in the future!
I can't select
the "Aerial Imagery" option. Why?
The Aerial Photos involve a lot of data that isn't
easily accommodated by the Internet. Therefore, you must "zoom" to
a level where the data required to fill the view will be managable
over the Internet. The option to activate the air photos will
present itself when the proper "zoomed-in" level is
reached.
