City Limit boundary for Tallahassee, Florida. Maintained by Tallahassee - Leon County GIS in cooperation with COT Staff. This layer is updated as annexations occur. Changes to this boundary will typically be available within 2 days of an official annexation notification by City Commission staff.

This layer shows Volunteer Fire Department Zones within Leon County. The zones are all located outside of the Tallahassee City Limits. There is also an area near the Tallahassee Airport that is not covered by a VFD. The content in this layer is maintained by staff at Tallahassee - Leon County GIS

The Promise Zone designation partners the Federal government with local leaders who are addressing multiple community revitalization challenges in a collaborative way. Promise Zones are high poverty communities where the federal government partners with local leaders to increase economic activity, improve educational opportunities, leverage private investment, reduce violent crime, enhance public health and address other priorities identified by the community. The program was administered by The Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD)There were three application cycles for Promise Zone designations (2014, 2015, 2016) with a total of 22 designated urban, rural and tribal Promise Zone communities across the country. The City of Tallahassee submitted an application for Promise Zone designation in all three application cycles (2014, 2015 and 2016). All three City applications included a Memorandum of Understanding between Leon County and the City of Tallahassee in seeking the Federal Promise Zone designation. The Tallahassee/Leon County Promise Zone boundaries were developed jointly by City and County staff and approved by both the City and County Commissions. The same Promise Zone boundary was included in all three application cycles.Promise Zone designation are given preference when applying for specified federal grants to support affordable housing, education, public safety and economic development. An eligible Promise Zone must have a minimum population of 10,000 and cannot exceed 200,000. The proposed Zone must have a minimum poverty rate of 33% and should exhibit high unemployment, high rates of residential vacancies and high rates of crime relative to the larger community.

This layer displays spot elevations for Tallahassee and Leon County Florida. Spot elevations display the actual elevation of a selected point on the ground. The features displayed in this layer depict ground conditions at the time the source imagery was acquired. Two source imagery sets were used to compile the features in this layer. The imagery sets were acquired during two discrete missions during 1988 and 1991. The precise dates of theses flights are not available. The Basemap 8891 Project:Basemap8891 is a compendium of two different dates of planimetric and topographic data that formed the first aerial-compiled basemap for Tallahassee-Leon GIS. In 1988, the City of Tallahassee Stormwater division commissioned stereo aerial photography covering 100 square miles (the City of Tallahassee limits and surrounding area). The planimetric data compiled using an analytical stereo plotter. Likewise, the contours were hand-traced from the stereo imagery and the spot elevations were hand placed using the stereo imagery. Orthoimagery was not produced from this imagery. The planimetric and topographic data was delivered by PLSS Section in dwg CAD files. In 1991, Leon County commissioned a countywide flight with similar product deliverables for the unincorporated portion of Leon County. The 1988 data and the 1991 data was merged together to create the first basemap for the Tallahassee-Leon County community. The base scale of both flights is 1:1200.
