GIS, Geographic Information System, is a collective set of spatial and attribute data.  Spatial data is physical location like a property corner or a street.  Attribute data is the information that explains the spatial data like name, size, and type. The county offices that currently use our data include the Area Plan Commission, Assessor, Auditior, Probation, Surveyor, 911, and Health Department.
