MapForsyth has new, streamlined webpage

MapForsyth has updated its site, to make it quicker and easier to access the data or applications users need.

Applications are now right there on the front page, with the most popular applications at the top like Tax Parcel Viewer or the Planning application. The new site will also make it quicker and easier for MapForsyth to put new applications online.

“As we create new web applications and upload new data, it gets updated automatically on the site.” said Forsyth County Geographic Information Officer Joseph Sloop. “It really streamlines the process.”

MapForsyth’s most popular applications are frequently used by lawyers, realtors, surveyors, engineers and everyday citizens. Beyond parcel and street data, there’s a variety of other applications MapForsyth has to help users find Census Info, voting locations, elected representatives, community resources, medicine takeback locations, parks, COVID-19 statistics and more.

At the top of the site, there’s also a link to addressing resources, like applications and petitions to correct an address or change a street name. Users can also download GIS (Geographic Information System) data and find contact info for MapForsyth’s staff on the new website.
