Mapping
The Mapping Section of the Tax Assessor's
Office is responsible for ownership and location information, as well as
tax maps for all properties within Forsyth
County. This section provides a listing of property owners, technically known
as a "tax scroll," based on information obtained from real estate
records in the Register of Deeds office. Transfers of property and divisions
of land are reflected in the GIS (Geographic Information System) Data Base
after a brief processing period. However, if deed transactions are not properly recorded,
we are unable to update ownership in the Tax Assessor's Office.
The tax maps provided by the Mapping Section display parcel boundaries, block
and lot (account numbers), city/town limits, fire districts and flood plains.
These are only a portion of the many mapping layers shown on our maps. Conversely,
tax maps do not provide zoning and school and voting district information. This
information may be obtained from other city and county departments. Also, please
keep in mind the Tax Assessor's office does not provide information regarding
property that is listed for sale or rent by land realtors.
Tax maps are drawn on a scale of 1 inch equals 200 feet and may be obtained
in person, by mail or by facsimile. Costs are as follows:
- Full sheet (24" x 36")
- $3.00
- Half sheet (24" x 18")
- $2.00
- Facsimile - $4.00 (obtainable, but only for small parcels - a facsimile
is simply legal or letter size)
