The Knox County Trustee's Office has made its tax sale properties available on KGIS Maps . Currently, the map is updated to show properties from Tax Sale 19A (in orange) and 19B (in blue).  Please see the Trustee's web site at http://www.knoxcounty.org/trustee/tax_sale.php for more information about the Tax Sale.  The "Property Tax Sale" map can be found under the "Other Maps" heading of the Maps tab.

The Mapunit Aggregated Attribute table records a variety of soil attributes and interpretations that have been aggregated from the component level to a single value at the map unit level. They have been aggregated by one or more appropriate means in order to express a consolidated value or interpretation for the map unit as a whole. One field that is very useful for Storm Water Runoff is the HYDGRPDCD (Hydrologic Group - Dominant Conditions), which is a grouping of soils that have similar runoff potential under similar storm and cover conditions. This column displays the dominant hydrologic group for the map unit, based on composition percentage of each map unit component.

KGIS has added some of the older Knox County imagery collected between 1998 and 2001 to KGIS Maps.  During that period only portions of the county where flown every year, at differing resolutions corresponding to our old 100/200 scale map sheets, resulting in this multi-year mosaic.  To view click on the Maps tab left of the map, then on the down arrow next to Historical Aerials to expand the selections within that category.  Next click on the button next to 1998-2001 Aerial to display.

The imagery is also available to ArcGIS Desktop users via the Image services hosted at www.kgis.org (or www.kgis.net).  Users with an existing connection to this system may find the service under GIS Server connections in ArcCatalog or when adding a layer in ArcMap.  If you need assistance in attaching the imagery to your map document or first connecting to the server please contact us and we will be glad to help.

The 2013 Aerial Imagery from USGS has been added to KGIS Maps Aerial map theme. To view click on the Maps tab left of the map, next click on the Aerial map theme under Standard Map. For metadata on the 2013 USGS Aerial Imagery click here. For more information, Click Here.

KGIS Maps now has support for legends!  Each map's legend can be toggled on by clicking the "Legend" tab.  The legends are dynamic and will change as one "zooms in and out".  However, it should be noted that some overlays (e.g. TCA Restriction Zones, Soil Types, etc.) may appear slightly different in the legend than they do on the map.

We have also added a link to the City Block Information documents as maintained by the City of Knoxville Technical Services Department.  When you identify a parcel located inside the City Limits,  the "Full Parcel Details" information will contain a "City Block" hyperlink to the PDF document.  Click here to see a screen shot showing the link's location.
