Update News (10/24/06)

Building footprints are now available for download in the Parcel Base Map Layers section. While we have a long-term strategy for integrating them more completely into Kitsap County's Enterprise Geodatabase, at this stage they are implemented as simple polygon features providing end users with a visualization tool.

Update News (7/17/06)

The Elections dataset has been renamed to Districts and the feature classes are now maintained by an internal process. As a result, this dataset is now exported on to the ftp site on a daily basis.

Update News (8/4/05)

LiDAR generated contour lines are available from the FTP site tiled by USGS quarter-quadrants in both AutoCAD drawing format and as ESRI Shape files.

The 2001 Digital Airborne Image Survey (DAIS) is also available in a series of tiled images in addition to the single composite image.

As an alternative to using the ftp site directly, DCD has provided an access point for downloading the LiDAR contours and DAIS imagery.

Update News (2/1/05)

Due to a pending redesign, LiDAR generated contour lines have been temporarily removed from the FTP site.

Update News (11/17/04)

LiDAR generated contour lines are now available for download. The contours have been broken out by detail level (200-foot, 100-foot, 50-foot, 20-foot, 10-foot, & 5-foot) and shape file size for easier downloading.

Update News (10/14/04)

The feature classes in the Parcel dataset (except for site address points) and the Land Information System (LIS) tables (except for legals) are now being updated on a daily basis.

Please note that the automated process for generating and uploading the Parcel and LIS Table datasets does not create ArcView 3.x attribute indexes (aih/ain files). It will be up to the individual users of these datasets to create the indexes, typically on the RP_ACCT_ID column, themselves.

Update News (6/17/04)

The feature classes in the Parcel dataset (except for site address points) are now being updated on a daily basis. The Land Information System (LIS) tables are soon to follow.

Update News (8/1/03)

Our data is in a transitional state right now. This is a result of the implementation of the new Land Information System (LIS) and the adjustment of the inaccurate tax parcel areas to better fit the 2001 Space Imaging image of the County. The accurate parcels have not been adjusted to this image. This is a high item on our priority list of projects to complete and we will be updating feature layers as they are ready. We greatly appreciate your patience in bearing with us. If you have any comments or suggestions, please send them to the GIS Manager.
