Needed to verify an easement before a field check, and the county’s GIS parcel map showed a private road and the mailing address for the owner — done in 10 minutes at 9:30 PM from my laptop. It’s hit-or-miss by county, so verify and do your own research before relying on it, but it paid off for me this week — anyone else?
I hear you on the frustrations of county systems — some are surprisingly helpful while others are a total headache — i once found a similar easement issue, but it took ages because the data wasn’t accurate. Agree on the timing part — getting that done at 9:30 PM is a win in our field; it makes me wonder if more counties could avoid lagging.
Using GIS is a game changer! I’ve saved a ton of time, too, especially when I was researching property lines late at night. Just a word of caution, though: some counties have outdated info that can create issues.
That’s awesome you got it done so quickly at 9:30 PM! Just be careful, not all counties update these maps regularly. Have you checked the accuracy of other maps before? @pilot-tracker.
