MARION COUNTY — Supervisor of Assessments, Patty Brough and E911 Coordinator Stacey Bradford announced today that geographic property information maintained in the Assessments office has been automated to be immediately available to Marion County E911.  Within the agreement E911 is providing the Assessments office with updated site addresses.

This automation will be beneficial for the public safety of Marion County.  The E911 telecommunicators will now have the most current property information and ownership available at their finger tips.  While this information is crucial to E911 other positions within the county that will benefit are, Marion County Sheriff’s Department, Municipal Police Departments, Fire Departments, Emergency Medical Services (EMS) and Code Enforcement.

“We are very excited about being able to move forward with technology that will benefit multiple areas of Marion County and its citizens”, stated Bradford & Brough.  Planned future enhancements include Pictometry oblique aerial imagery which provides views of all sides of houses and other buildings.  All enhancements have been funded through GIS fees, with no increase to property taxes.

“I am very pleased to see the integration with E911 in place along with the future enhancements as this has been a long term goal of mine,” said Brough.
