Quick-Start Guide to Interactive Map

To get started, click the link above to navigate to the interactive map, or CLICK HERE. This should open a new window or tab in your browser, with the image below in the center:


After loading for a moment, the screen should change to a disclaimer. Once you have read the information and wish to continue, click "accept" in the lower right-hand corner of the disclaimer. You should then see the integrity main screen (displayed below), with a zoomed-out map of the county in the center (1), a toolbar with different tabs (2), a layer-navigation panel (3), and a search bar in the upper-righthand corner of the screen.
















If you wish to locate a specific parcel, there are numerous ways to do so. If you know the approximate location of a parcel, you can simply zoom-in on the county map until you find it. You can also use the search bar in the corner of the screen (4) to locate a parcel. If you know the PID number or the Quick Reference ID, simply type it into the search bar (with no hyphens) and hit the "Enter" key.

If you know the address,  type it into the search bar and click enter. When doing so, you typically do not need anything other than an address and street. For example, to locate the County Courthouse, the search term "300 Walnut Street" is adequate. It is possible to simply search for the nearest intersection as well(e.g. "Walnut & 4th). After you have typed in the address and hit the "Enter" key on your keyboard, two things should happen:

1. A circle should appear at the approximate location of the parcel on the County Map
2. The parcel should appear (along with nearby parcels) in the Layer Navigation Panel, under a heading "Leavenworth Geocode"

Click on the address for the parcel you searched for, and the map should zoom-in to an overview of the parcel and the surrounding area, like this:

















To find basic information about the parcel , such as the owner or acreage, click directly on the parcel in question, which should highlight it and bring up a Pane to the right of the Layer Navigation Panel. This Pane will contain the owner name, the PID (above the term "LEAVENWORTH COUNTY" in the image below), a picture of the property, and a few hyperlinks:
















Clicking "View Additional Details" will zoom all the way into the parcel, and create a Parcel Info tab within the Layer Navigation Panel. This is where information like the owner of the parcel can be found, as well as details about the property size. 

Note: Clicking "View Subdivision Plat" will open a new window or tab displaying the subdivision plat the property belongs to (if there is one. If the parcel does not belong to a subdivision, this link will lead to a "404 - File or Directory Not Found" message).

A Parcel Identification Number (PID) is an a unique thirteen-digit number (excluding decimals) that is assigned to each parcel in the county. A Quick Ref ID (QRID) is very similar to a PID, except in format. A QRID begins with the letter "R" followed by 4-6 digits. Knowing a PID or QRID can be helpful when searching for or referring to a parcel that does not have an address. It can also be used to quickly locate a parcel on our Interactive Map.

Locating a PID or QRID
A parcel's PID or QRID can be located in the Parcel Info tab, (to learn how to navigate to the Parcel Info tab, please see the above section "Getting to the Interactive Map and Locating a Parcel").

As can be seen on the image to the left, the Interactive Map outputs two PIDs - one that is formatted (includes hyphens and decimal points), and one that is not. The QRID can be found by scrolling down. Due to changes in formatting, it is possible in the future that the PID or QRID locations will be farther down the page, so continue scrolling through the Parcel Info tab if so. 

How to use PID or QRID to locate a parcel
When using a QRID number to locate a parcel, type the full QRID (including the "R" into the search bar and hit the "Enter" button.

When searching for a parcel with a PID number, it is important to exclude hyphens as well as decimal points (BUT be sure to include the numbers following the decimal point). For example, the formatted PID of the County Courthouse is "077-36-0-20-20-002.00-0". To search for this PID, one would type "0773602020002000" into the search bar and hit the "Enter" button.

1. After locating the parcel or area, click on the "Layers" tab at the bottom of the Layer Navigation Panel to the left of the screen. 

2. Scroll down through the list of layers and click the " + " next to the Zoning layer. This will create a drop-down list of sub-layers within the Zoning layer. Note that you cannot yet interact with these layers.

3. Check the box next to the Zoning Layer. Doing so should make the sub-layer options beneath it clickable.

4. Check the box next to the zoning sub-layer.

After doing so, the Zoning layer should be visible on the map to the right, along with the associated Zoning Abbreviation (sometimes it takes a bit of searching to find). For a list of the Zoning Districts in the county, as well as some associated information, head to our Regulations & Zoning page.

If the Zoning is still not visible after both Zoning layers are turned on, it is possible the parcel or area in question is within city boundaries - zoom out on the Interactive Map to double check. Any planning-related concerns about parcels within city boundaries will need to be directed to their Planning Departments (Links to each city's Planning Department can be found under the "Helpful Tip" sidebar on our Homepage).

You can find other information in the Layers Tab, such as:* 

• Utility providers - Electric, Water Districts, etc.
• Public Services - Fire Districts, Fire Stations, etc.
• School Districts - County School Districts, Library Districts, etc. 
• Political Districts - Commission Districts, Census Blocks, State Representative Districts, etc.

*REMINDER: Click the " + " next to the Layer in question, as well as necessary checkboxes. 

After locating the parcel or area in question, navigate to the "Layers" tab in the Layer Navigation Panel to the left of the map. Scroll down to the Layer titled "FEMA Flood Hazard Layer" and click the associated checkbox.

There are a number of sub-layers within the FEMA flood hazard layer, and you may notice that unlike the other layers on the Interactive Map, all the sub-layers are already toggled-on.  To right of the layer title, you will notice a small scaling-bar, the movement of which will adjust the transparency of the layer. 

Directly below the FEMA flood hazard layer is the Flood/Hydrology Layer, which contains the FEMA layer as a sub-layer, as well as sub-layers detailing Flood Changes, Watershed Boundaries, etc. For more information regarding floodplains, please visit our Floodplain FAQs page.

Once you have located the area you want to measure, click on the "Analysis" tab on the Toolbar located on the upper left of the Interactive Map. 



Distance

1. Click on the "Distance" tool
2. Select the unit of measurement (tool defaults to feet)
3. Click the point on the map where you want to begin your measurement. If you need to change where you want to begin or otherwise want to exit the measuring tool before finalizing the measurement, hit the Esc button on your keyboard.
4. Move your mouse-pointer to the second point of the measurement. If you want to measure multiple points, continue to the next points in your measurement. Note that if you stop moving your mouse for a moment the tool will display the current distance from the original point.
5. When you have completed the measurement, double-click at the final point. The measurement lines will turn blue and display the distance of each segment in white, as well as the total distance traveled in black. 
6. If you no longer wish for the measurement to be displayed on the map, click the "Clear" button.

Area

1.  Click the "Area" tool
2. Select the unit of measurement (tool defaults to feet & acres)
3. Click the point on the map where you want to begin your measurement. If you need to change where you want to begin or otherwise want to exit the measuring tool before finalizing the measurement, hit the Esc button on your keyboard.
4. Move your mouse-pointer to the second point of the measurement. Note the shaded area that develops when you move to the third point of the measurement. If you stop moving the mouse for a moment the tool will display the current distance and area contained within the shaded area. 
5. When you have completed the measurement area, double-click the final point. The measurement lines will turn blue and display the distance of each segment of the shape in white, as well as the total area and distance of the perimeter in black in the center of the shape. 
6. If you no longer wish for the measurement to be displayed on the map, click the "Clear" button.
