Lehigh County retained geographIT to provide professional GIS services in support of the County’s recent resolution requiring a Universal Parcel Identifier (UPI) assignment for every legal property transaction recorded at the County. A component of the UPI is automatically generated by geographIT’s tax parcel editing tools, and County staff are able to search and retrieve the property UPI using mapJazz™, geographIT’s easy to use web-based GIS parcel viewing and mapping solution designed especially for local governments. Professional services include geodatabase design of land records and roads centerlines; migration of GIS data from ArcInfo Librarian coverages into an ArcGIS Server 9.3.1 geodatabase; implementation of geographIT’s suite of custom ArcGIS Desktop 9.3.1 parcel and road centerline editing tools; training road centerline and land record maintenance using geographIT’s custom editing tools; implementation and configuration of mapJazz™; and system administration training for mapJazz™. “Implementing the latest ESRI GIS technology in combination with geographIT’s editing tools and mapJazz™ parcel viewer provided the technological foundation for implementing the County’s UPI assignment and retrieval system”, said Mr. Richard Benkovic, GIS Manager for Lehigh County. “The County’s fee for assigning a UPI to each legal property transaction will easily recover the cost of the technology upgrade and geographIT’s services within the first year of UPI implementation.”
