Q: How do I view the Assessor's Parcel Maps?
A:
Click the "Maps"
button at the top of this page. Select the Parcel Map
viewer and allow map system to load. It may take several
minutes on a dial up connection. Zoom to your area of
interest using the Zoom In Q: How do I bookmark the site? A: If you bookmark the map viewer and attempt to use it, the viewer will fail to load and display various error messages. You will need to edit your bookmark to make it work. Bookmark the map site like you normally would. Then use your bookmark pulldown menu and right click the new bookmark. Select Properties to display a new window popup. There should be a box labelled "URL" that shows the web address of the link. You need to edit the URL by removing the "/viewer.htm" that appears at the end of the URL. If you are bookmarking the parcel map the URL should read "http://maps.co.jefferson.wa.us/Website/parcels". These instructions are for Internet Explorer on a Windows machine. Q: How do I use the permit map layer?
A:
Make the layer
visible to see what parcels have permit cases. Use the
Identify All
Using the hotlink tool on the permit layer will send you to a web page in the online permitting database with detailed information about the first case in the table. Q: Why are the browser buttons gone? A: Depending on how you got to the site, the standard browser buttons may be gone. The forward, back, refresh, and stop functions have no consistent meaning for a multi-frame application like the map server. Using the buttons causes the application to fail so they were removed. If they are present, you should not use them nor should you use key stroke combinations for the same purposes. If you get locked up and need to refresh the site use Ctrl-F5. A: There are several ways to find a property depending on what information you already have at your disposal. If you know
the parcel number: Enter the nine digit number in
the input box at the bottom of the screen and click the GO
button. A successful search will result in a new map that
is zoomed to the parcel and a list of attributes at the bottom
of the window. At this point you can click on the web
address at the bottom or click once on the
Hyperlink If you know the
site address there are two ways to search. The first way:
Type the name of the street and street type abbreviation in the
input box at the bottom of the screen. For instance, type
ADAMS ST to search for addresses on Adams Street. The
street name is not case sensitive but you must include the
street suffix (ST in this case). If one parcel is found,
the results will appear in the text window just below the map.
If multiple parcels are found a new window will open up with a
list. You can click on the record number to zoom to a
parcel or the URL field for extended parcel attributes.
This search is not as robust as the
Property Database
Tool and will not return any results if you just type
"ADAMS". Common suffixes are RD, LN, ST, DR, CT, AVE, and
PL. The second method: Click the
locate address
tool
If you do not know
the parcel number or the address but know the location: Click
the Zoom In Q: How do I find the zoning for a parcel? A: The zoning information is based on the 1998 Comprehensive Plan Map and subsequent amendments. The theme was drawn using the 1998 parcel map and may not line up directly with the current parcel map. Zoning designations should be confirmed with the Department of Community Development. Zoning is now visible
once you zoom in far enough. However, there are many types
of zoning and it may be difficult to use the legend to identify
the zoning in your target area. To verify the zoning,
make the Zoning layer active and then select the
Identify All
Q: The map is locked up, how do I refresh it? A: Hit Ctrl-F5 to get a fresh map. Q: How do I find out more about the data? A: Click on a theme name in the layer list. The names are hotlinks to abbreviated metatdata files. Q: How do I submit a question for the FAQ? A: You can send us an e-mail or fill out the feedback form. Q: What Browsers are Supported? A: MS Internet Explorer 6.0 and above. Firefox and Chrome also work.

tool. Make the "Assessor Maps-H" layer visible and active
by checking the checkboxes next to the layer name in the
layerlist. Refresh the map by clicking the "Refresh Map"
button below the layerlist or the word "Layers" at the top of
the list. A new layer consisting of a green grid should
appear on the map. Click once on the
tool and then on the map. An Assessor's parcel map for the
area will open in a separate browser window. 
tool to click on one of the mapped parcels to get a table of
permit cases for the parcel. Use the first link in the
table (URL) to access a web page in the online permit database
that shows all permit cases for the parcel. That link will
be the same for each case in the table. Use the second
link (REL1_URL) to access a web page that shows detailed
information about the particular permit case. That link
will be unique for each case in the table.
to get a dialogue box to enter the address in. Be sure and
enter a street address number even if you have to make up a fake
one. This tool finds the approximate location of an
address rather than the specific parcel so further work needs to
be done to verify the location.
