National Geomatica

The Borough has invested in a Geographic Information System (GIS) that will provide many benefits to the borough and to our residents. The GIS combines a detailed series of digital maps of the borough with a database that contains every element of information associated with every piece of property in the borough. By doing so, we can look at an individual parcel of property in terms of its physical location and geographic characteristics as well as in terms of all the information associated with the parcel as it pertains to the administration of the borough (tax, zoning, construction applications, pets, health and safety, public works, and more.)
