Drawing Map Layers
On the right side of the screen is the Layer List, a list of the information layers that are currently available. To view a layer, click in the square button on the left of the name of the layer then click Refresh Map bar at the bottom of the Layer List. To activate a layer so that you can retrieve the information it contains, you must also click in the round button just to the left of the layer name.
There are some layers that are not displayed in the Layer List in all map scales or views. For example, the layers for road names and building footprints do not appear until the map is zoomed in to a scale where the layer features are discernable.
Parcel Information
To locate information about a parcel (owner, owner’s address, tax parcel number, size, zoning, etc.) you must initiate a query of the City of North Augusta tax parcel data. First click (using your left mouse button) in both the square and round buttons to the left of the ‘Parcels (Polygon)’ name in the Layer List on the right side of your screen. Then click on the ‘Identify’ button in the toolbox on the left side of the screen.
Then click on any parcel shown on the map. The information contained in the database related to that parcel will be displayed below the map.

This will start your query. Now you can choose the field that you want to query for information (Parcel Number [Tax ID], Name [Owner], Street Name[Owner’s Mailing Address]) from the drop down list below the map. Then type in the value of the information you wish to locate. Note: the exact value (spelling, abbreviation, punctuation, etc.) must be entered in capital letters to generate an accurate response.
