Property Ownership and Land Records Information System (POLARIS)
After entering the Property Ownership and Land Records Information System (POLARIS) website, you can search on a property by address, property owner or other means.When you click on the appropriate property in the search results, the screen basically has three areas:

• Left side contains information on the property, including the legal description, deed references, photos, tax bill info, etc.
• The middle of the screen is the map area.
• The right side contains options to provide additional information.
  1. The layers button is very useful and when you click on that you will notice the left side of the screen changes to give you various options on how to view properties.
  2. This is where you can select the 10 foot corridors to visualize the approximate location of the 760 contour line.
  3. At the bottom of the layers list is an option to turn on an aerial view.
  4. There is a measure tool on the right panel.
  5. Once you click that and drag your mouse, you will notice some boxes at the top of the map that will show you feet, area, etc.
  6. Caution:Please keep in mind that what you see on the map are approximations.You need to rely on a survey to insure the location of the 760 contour line, property lines, structure locations, etc.
