The Louisville and Jefferson County DPDS has made remarkable progress in incorporating the GIS as a tool in their daily work. In addition, mapping staff has assumed responsibility for maintenance of specific data sets and graphic data layers.
- The DPDS is responsible for the creation and maintenance of the zoning and subdivision layers in LOJIC. Both of these datasets are based on attribute data stored in the City’s Land Management Information System, and updated quarterly by staff. The DPDS keeps a set of zoning maps on their public service counter for reference use. They also created the land use layer that is a valuable component of the economic development community.
- The Street Centerline Editor was written for City Public Works and the Jefferson County DPDS. The application is a customized version of the data editor application that is a user-friendly interface for ArcEdit. The application is used to maintain site addresses, street centerlines and address ranges and allows for multiple users to edit the coverages. The application verifies the street name to keep the centerline and address coverages as accurate as possible. Quality control routines are built into the application to identify any errors that were created during the editing process.
The Property Valuation Administrator (PVA) maintains the attribute and graphic property database using the LOJIC GIS, including all property transfers, subdivisions and consolidations on a real-time basis. PVA staff use a complex edit application to maintain the property data, while the public and other LOJIC users can query property data through a simplified public access application.
- The PVA Parcel Edit Application was designed and written by LOJIC staff for use by PVA in maintaining and updating the parcel database. The application provides PVA with easy to use tools that perform typical parcel maintenance and update functions, such as parcel splits and mergers and new subdivision inserts. In addition, the application tracks property lineage by recording changes to parcel ID numbers.
- Both Block Plot and Autoplot Applications are used as tools to produce parcel plots of any desired tax block. The Block Plot application is a graphical interface that allows the user to produce seven distinct plot formats. Autoplot is initiated automatically on a weekly basis to produce plots of tax blocks whenever a change or edit is made to the block. The public references these maps whenever they are in the office gathering information
- The PVA Public Access Application was designed and written by LOJIC to provide the public with graphic and attribute information about assessed properties in Jefferson County. The product is located at the front counter of the PVA’s office and will eventually replace the terminals that display only text and the hardcopy maps as well. The application uses a customized ArcView interface and was written entirely in Avenue scripts.
- Property Reassessment efforts during the last two years have utilized LOJIC for annual appraisal and selective appraisal of agricultural lands and for resolving disputes related to the proposed valuation. According to the PVA, the use of LOJIC was responsible for reducing controversial cases from over 10,000 in 1994, to less than 100 in 1995.
