HVCEO's digital mapping, or geographic information system (GIS) as the technology is known, produces regional maps that meet various needs. HVCEO also assists each municipality in advancing its own digital mapping.

Note that the term GIS denotes the layering of widely varying mapped variables, not only the display of property and parcel maps as the most fundamental layers.

To discuss local or regional mapping matters contact George Blake, HVCEO Geographic Information System Manager.
