GIS

A GIS combines layers of information about a place to give you a better understanding of that place. What layers of information you combine depends on your purpose—finding the best location for a new store, analyzing environmental damage, viewing similar crimes in a city to detect a pattern, and so on. This technology is very helpful to use in Assessment of real and personal property.

Parcel Identification

Locating specific areas of land is fundamental to the tax mapping process. Once a specific area is located it must also be given its own unique "name". This is called parcel identification. A good land description will permanently and distinctly locate one and only one individual parcel of land. In Salt Lake County, land is described by written descriptions or legally recorded plats.

The Salt Lake County Assessor’s Office receives this parcel information from the Salt Lake County Recorder’s Office.

Aerial Photography

Oblique imagery is a photo of the ground taken from an angle other than straight down. This imagery gives the appraiser a better understanding of structures and other characteristics that exist on a given parcel. The imagery provided by the EagleView corporation gives the appraiser the ability to view a parcel from all four cardinal directions, north, south, east and west.
