| About Tax Maps |
A tax map is a special purpose map, accurately drawn to scale showing all the real property parcels within a city, town or village. These maps are used to locate parcels and obtain other information required in assessment work. The size, shape and dimensions (or acreage) of a parcel may be found on a tax map. Tax maps are primarily used by local governments to maintain a current inventory of all parcels in a city, town or village. |
| Why Digital Tax Maps? |
While our tax maps were developed for assessment purposes, digital mapping information has a wide variety of uses. The map data offered here, when combined with other Graphical Information System (GIS) data, could form the basic building blocks for displaying and using all types of location-based information in the County of Albany. |
| About the Digital Tax Map Conversion Project |
The Albany County Tax Map Conversion Project began in February of 1999 and culminated in the summer of 2001 with final delivery of digital products. These digital data sets were produced by digitizing scanned images of the original Mylar tax map sheets. These images were registered to their true ground location, and drawn in survey feet. |
