5/05/04: Transparent Planning Jurisdictions in Orthophoto Views

On the Orthophoto Views (View choices are below the map), the Planning Jurisdictions are now transparent. To use this functionality - it's helpful to turn off all layers except the Planning Jurisdictions and the Orthophotos. Zoom in until the Orthophotos turn on; you should be able to see them through the Jurisdiction color.

To see the Commissioner Districts choose the ELECTORAL VIEW (View choices are located below the map). Turn on Wake County Commissioners and zoom in until the districts appear.

We have had several requests from users who would like to see the PIN for neighboring parcels. To use this feature make sure you turn off the layer called Parcels.

To get to the photo for a property:  Search for the parcel by Owner, by Address or by PIN. Once the parcel is returned you will see the parcel information on the right side of your screen. Click on the words Open Photo.   The photo will open in a new window.

We have had a number of requests from users who want to see the parcels on the map without the PIN number. To use this feature make sure you turn off the layer called Parcels.
