Using the Identify Tool

  1. In the Toolbar, click the Identify icon and then select a point of interest on the map.
     
  2. When you click the map, information on all the identifiable features for that point will be displayed in the table of contents.


     

Using the Draw Select Tool for Selecting Tax Parcels and Creating Mailing Labels

  1. The Draw Select tool allows you to select a tax parcel or group of parcels by drawing a feature (point, line, or polygon) and buffer it by a user defined distance.  The selected tax parcels then have their owner name and mailing address included in a mailing label form, ready for printing.
     
  2. In the Toolbar, click the Draw Select icon .  Upon selecting the tool, the table of contents displays the drawing options (point, line, or polygon) to create the desired feature (defaults to Draw Polygon) on the map.  Click vertices on map and double-click last point to finish drawing object.


     
  3. Once the feature is drawn, the Buffer Selection Shape prompt located in the table of contents allows you to offset the drawn feature by a distance in feet.  If left at zero, only the parcels touching or contained within the drawn feature will be selected.


     
  4. Once the feature is drawn, and the buffer distance is set (in feet), select the Go! button or Enter.  The map will display the buffer distance and select the parcels.  The table of contents will also show the number of selected Tax Records and generates a list.  At the top of the table of contents will list three different formats for obtaining mailing labels.



  5. The PDF format is ready for printing, the HTML is for easy viewing, and the CSV allows for custom creation and offers a number of data fields.  The PDF or HTML format labels will appear in a new browser window, and the CSV will create a File Download prompt for the user to Open, Save, or Cancel request.  If opening or saving, the file can be viewed with Excel or another spreadsheet program.
