Bertie County Adds GIS and Emergency Communications

What is GIS? A Global Information System, a system of maps and aerial and satellite photos of property in Bertie County combined with an information database. The combination allows you to use the Internet to look up your property, and get survey and tax information about it. This is one of the two new systems that Jodie Rhea, Property Tax Auditor from the Bertie County Tax Office, showed the Windsor Rotary Club this last Thursday.

Jodie Rhea Explains County's New Global Information System

Since we are on the Internet, all you need to do to go to the system to find out more about it is click on the link below:

This will take you to the new Bertie County GIS website, and allow you to find out information about your property, or any other property that you need to do research on. For instance, if you are in the market to buy a property, you can now find out as much about the new property from your home PC as you used to be able to find out by going to the courthouse, maybe even more because of the aerial pictures.

The other system Jodie explained is the Emergency Communications system based on the Zetron Series 4000 Operator Console. This is a powerful upgrade to our 911 Public Safety Answering Point. For information about the system, click here:
