Tax Map Advisory Committee

Purpose:  The ad hoc Tax Map Advisory Committee is providing assistance to update the tax map rules which have not been revised since the early 1990’s. A main focus of the committee is to update the rules for “digital” tax maps. Committee members have a common interest in creating uniform guidelines for the maintenance, publishing, sales, exchange, and multi-jurisdictional viewing of surface tax maps.

Recommendations:  In January 2007, the Tax Map Advisory Committee submitted revised tax map rules to the Property Valuation Training and Procedures Commission (PVC) for consideration. Below are documents and resources to assist the cadastral community in discussing and adopting new rules
