The Parcel GIS Layer for tax assessment is a high-resolution geospatial dataset that defines property boundaries and integrates detailed tax-related attributes within a Geographic Information System (GIS) environment. Each parcel is represented as a polygon feature in a vector data format, accurately georeferenced using standardized coordinate systems (e.g., NAD 1983, State Plane or UTM), and maintained through cadastral mapping practices. This layer combines spatial geometry with attribute tables containing critical tax assessment data such as parcel ID (APN), ownership information, legal descriptions, assessed land and improvement values, exemptions, tax district codes, and land use classifications. GIS functionality enables advanced spatial analysis such as proximity, overlay, and buffering to support equitable property valuation, enforcement of zoning and land use regulations, and identification of assessment trends or anomalies. Data is managed within a geodatabase (e.g., ESRI File Geodatabase or Enterprise Geodatabase), supporting topology rules to ensure geometric integrity (no overlaps or gaps), versioning for multi-user editing, and integration with automated assessment systems (CAMA). The Parcel Layer is also designed to interoperate with orthophotos, zoning layers, utility infrastructure, and demographic datasets, allowing tax authorities to perform cross-analysis and generate thematic maps for public communication and policy-making. Updated regularly through field surveys, deed recordings, and aerial imagery interpretation, the Parcel GIS Layer plays a central role in ensuring transparency, efficiency, and accuracy in the property tax assessment process. It provides local governments, assessors, planners, and auditors with a dynamic, queryable spatial framework for managing real estate taxation and supporting data-driven decision-making.

The PA Department of Conservation and Natural Resources (DCNR) and PA Game Commission (PGC) have teamed up to create an interactive map specifically for hunters. Collectively, State Forest Land and Gamelands comprise over 3.7 million acres of public forest open to hunting in Pennsylvania. Hunters can use this map to:View public forests open to hunting.Search hunting seasons and bag limits across different parts of the state.Display hunting hours (starting/ending times) across different parts of the state.Add personal GPS data to the map (waypoints and tracklogs).View different types of wildlife habitat across public forest lands, including mature oak forests, meadows, food plots, openings, winter thermal (coniferous) cover, and young aspen forest.See where recent timber harvests have occurred on public forest lands.Get deer management assistance program (DMAP) information for state forest lands.Add map layers associated with chronic wasting disease (CWD).Identify where bear check stations are located and get driving directions.Display the elk hunting zones and get information about them.Get the location of gated roads opened for hunters on public forest lands and when those gates will be opened.Analyze graphs and trends in antlerless/antlered deer harvests and antlerless license allocations from 2004 to the present.
