Welcome to the web-home for the GIS Division of the Franklin County Information Services Department.

By using this site, you agree to all of the terms and conditions put forth in our disclaimer. 

You can use the links on the left to access our online mapping resources. These mapping tools are provided to allow the general public to view basic maps of our county, and the mapping is presented in two different "flavors" to meet different browser requirements.

GIS BROADBAND requires Microsoft Internet Explorer, version 6.0 or higher, and the free Adobe SVG plugin. It provides multiple maps, each about a single topic, and offers a higher-quality map viewing experience. Due to the data-intensive nature of this site, it is recommended that dial-up users use the site below.

GIS LOWBAND does not require any plugins, and works in most browsers. It is a single, highly-customizable view of many map features. Although it requires a lower internet connection speed than the ONLINE site, it is important to remember that load times can be substantial, depending upon server loads, connection speeds, and general internet traffic levels.

The following tips apply to both sites:

The more information a map has on it, the longer it will take to load. That means that if the map gets larger in size, covers a larger area, or has more features on it, it will take longer to generate, transmit, and display.

The maps this system generates are not pre-built or pre-cached--they are actually generated from raw map data at the moment you request them. If other users are accessing the site at the same time you are, there may be some slowing of performance.

We make every effort to assure that this site utilizes the most recent data available, but there can be delays in data updates. For that reason, any results related to parcel data should be verified at the Assessor's TaxSifter web site.

This site uses "pop-ups."  Be sure to enable this site in your browser's pop-blocker.
