The Alachua County Growth Management Department’s GIS Division has launched a redesigned Map Genius website, making it easier and faster for residents to quickly access property and geographic information in one place.
With more than 60 information layers, Map Genius allows users to easily search for property and parcel information, municipal boundaries, wetlands, radon control areas, zoning and land use, flood zones, political districts, water management districts and more.
Visit the new Map Genius site.
The original Map Genius was one of the first online mapping applications to provide the public with simple, convenient access to property information. The redesigned website maintains the same URL (mapgenius.alachuacounty.us), while adding new features and improved functionality.
Built using the latest GIS platform software, the redesigned Map Genius is designed to evolve with advancing technology. New features include improved speed and reliability, the ability to export data, adjust the visibility of map layers, access geographic coordinates and view street-level imagery.
“Technology continues to advance, and it is our responsibility to advance GIS as well,” said Alachua County GIS Manager John Carlson. “Our team is up to the challenge of keeping all our GIS services, including the new Map Genius, in step with technological advancements so everyone can have 24/7 access to our GIS services.”
