A GIS is a system of hardware, software, data, and workflow procedures for collecting, storing, analyzing and disseminating information about areas of the earth. People interact with a GIS to integrate, analyze, and visualize geographic data; identify relationships, patterns, and trends; and help find solutions to problems.

The Polk County Interactive GIS Map site is the portal to geographic-land information for everyone to access. One important element of the site is parcel information. Currently, 89% of Polk County has been parcel mapped and can be viewed within the shaded yellow areas. As areas become parcel mapped, they will be added to the site. Many map features can be viewed on the site along with aerial photography. Look for new map features as they become available. Click the Interactive GIS Map link to access the site. |
