Tax Assessor Mapping Services Tobin International is pleased to announce that St. Landry, Point Coupee and Iberville Parish Assessor’s Offices have recently contracted for the delivery of a turn-key digital ownership mapping system for their respective parishes. The Assessors will use the system to provide better customer service, create custom hardcopy maps in volume, geographically analyze and manage the assessment base and other operations. Tobin was selected based on its expertise in Louisiana ownership mapping and general ability to perform large scale parcel mapping projects. A typical system will include several key features –
Updates to the mapping system, such as the addition of new subdivisions, will occur monthly or at a predetermined interval. Updating activity will be performed in Tobin’s Opelousas, LA facility or, alternatively, by the individual Assessor’s office. The system can instantaneously map numerous assessor inquiries, such as –
The results of any inquiry can be immediately plotted to a scale-indexed hard copy map using a local ink jet printer or plotter. Tobin currently has many layers of GIS data for most Texas counties and Louisiana parishes; digital historic ownership is available for over 30 parishes. This off-the-shelf data is used as the basis for the current parcel mapping system. The procedure for creating a current GIS database starts with a professional evaluation and quotation. Once accepted, Tobin establishes project management functions, installs the software and off-the-shelf data, develops current high-resolution photography (minimum 1M resolution/10’ accuracy), fits the political boundaries and creates the current ownership layer. The resulting GIS data is delivered based on a predetermined schedule. Updating begins after the first delivery. Typically, a system takes between 6 to 18 months to complete. Tobin International has provided mapping services to municipal government agencies for over 50 years. We’re committed to deliver and support quality digital mapping solutions for assessors and other municipal agencies, now and in the future.

Technological advances in software, hardware, spatial data / imagery
production, have greatly reduced the cost and operational complexity of GIS projects in
recent years. These three factors have also greatly increased the use of GIS data for
public services and, more importantly, decision making concerning public issues. The city
and county governmental and quasi-govenmental agencies that are mandated to provide
services to the public realize that 80% of their work revolves around geographically or
spatially related features and data. They include such entities as:
Tobin has
also provided ArcView3 GIS (Geographic Information System) mapping software that has been
modified to meet the unique needs of the Louisiana Assessor. The software will permit
numerous inquiry routines and data analysis as well as produce full-featured color hard
copy maps at numerous scales or sizes. Additionally, the software is linked to Software
and Services Inc.’s Assessor Automation System and other similar systems.
