Geographic Information System

To query the ownership and address of a single parcel, use the Info Tool and click on a parcel.

To get parcel info for multiple parcels use one of the five Select Tools to select the desired parcels. Multiple selections are made by holding the Shift key. After selecting all the desired parcels, pick "New Browser Window" from the Window pull-down menu, then pick "Selection" from the Browse Table dialog box. The data in the browser can be copied to a word processor by picking "Copy" from the Edit pull-down menu.

To find a parcel for a given owner name, pick "Property Owner Name" from the Query pull-down menu. Enter the owner's last name and click Okay. MapInfo will search for all property owners with the specified name within the open map area. All matching names will be displayed in a browser window. From the browser window you may select the individual owner you are interested in by picking the black box in the left-hand column of the browser. The corresponding parcel(s) will be highlighted in the map window, however they my be hard to spot.

Clicking the eye glasses button will zoom to the current selection.

To find a parcel with a given street address, pick the "Street Address Locator" from the Query pull-down menu, which opens the "Street Address Search" dialog box. You may enter the street number, direction (North, South, East, West), and street name, or you may use the wildcard character (the percent sign: %) if you are uncertain of the exact address. It is not necessary to enter full street name (i.e. you can leave off "Street", "Avenue", "Road", etc.) The street name is not case sensitive. For example: If you are working in the Town of Jackson and enter just "Kelly" in the street name you will get a browser listing over a hundred parcels on Kelly Street. If you pick "East" for the direction pull-down list and enter "Kelly" for the street name you will get about 70 parcels. If you enter "3%" for the number, "East" for the direction, and "Kelly" for the name you will get about 5 parcels; all of the 30's and 300's on East Kelly Avenue. Pick the desired parcel(s) from the browser.

Use the eye glasses button to zoom to the selection.

To find a Subdivision, pick the "Subdivision Search" from the Query pull-down menu, which opens the "Subdivision Search" dialog box. You may enter a lot number, or leave the % symbol in place, which will return all lots. Enter any part of the subdivision name e.g. "John Dodge", "Ski Corp", or "Karns". All matching parcels will be listed in a browser window.

Use the eye glasses button to zoom to the selection.

To find Land Record Information click on a parcel with the Hot Link tool (aka the "Lightning Bolt"). This will open a web browser with detailed information about land records associated with the parcel. The web browser also provides scanned images of the legal documents. You can also search the site directly at: http://www.tetonwyo.org/clerk/query

To find the Zoning of a given parcel, select "Thematically Map Zoning" from the Map pull-down menu. This will shade the map with the County Land Use Districts, hatch the map with the County Zoning Overlays, and make the zoning and zoning overlay layers selectable. You may turn the zoning off by picking again the "Thematically Map Zoning" from the Map pull-down menu.. When you quit a session that has been thematically mapped, MapInfo may display a dialog box that says "There are unsaved objects in this map. Save to a workspace?" Click the "Discard" button, because the thematic shading does not need to be saved.
