Town of Avon Geographic Information System (GIS) Website Now Available on the Internet
Avon, CT. The Town of Avon has made digital mapping information available to the public through their GIS website, Community Explorer Online (CEO for short). The site, which allows the public to view a variety of layers of map data, also provides a direct link to Assessor’s information using a mapping interface. Users can search for properties by owner name, address, or Assessor’s parcel identifier; zoom to addresses, and print maps. They can also select numerous parcels and produce mailing labels for the selected parcels. Map and list output can be directly to the User’s printer or can be saved to the User’s computer as Adobe PDF files.
Included with the site is a downloadable User’s Guide that describes in detail each function: what it is for, and how it works so that users can become productive very quickly.
