Property Details and GIS

Most common questions regarding property information can be addressed by going to the County’s GIS site here: https://www.meadecounty.org/gis. The GIS site is hosted by Schneider Geospatial, and they have offered a free service to everyone in response to COVID-19. Here is what they are offering:

  • In effort to serve our constituents during these uncertain times – with many offices closed or restricting access to the public – Schneider Geospatial will enable for our Not-A-Dime Beacon/qPublic.net sites: 20 free record views (valid for 1 year) added to new and existing metered use accounts upon request. This will not affect time based subscriptions. In order to use the free record views, users must have an existing account or create a new account. Once activated, users can call Schneider Support line at 866-362-6789 to have the credits added to their account.

Many commonly used forms can be found at the State Department of Revenue website here: https://sddor.seamlessgov.com.
