Assessor adds new Property Lookup tool

The Knox County Property Assessor has introduced a new Property Lookup / E-Gov website that allows one to review current and past property values, along with details about land and improvements. 

 

The new site has been integrated with KGIS Maps, allowing one to....  

-------------------

quickly "zoom" to a parcel's location by selecting one of the four map themes (Standard, Aerial, Topo, FEMA) at the top of the page. (see image below). To read more about the site, visit the Assessor's webpage at http://tn-knox-assessor.publicaccessnow.com/Welcome.aspx. 

It should be noted, however, that the Property Assessor's new E-Gov site reflects "year-end" status. Therefore, any new parcel created AFTER December 31, 2012 will NOT be searchable inside the E-GOV site (see example 121GC02501 ). 

And conversely, if a parcel that previously existed has since been split or merged into a new, different parcel, then the backwards link from the E-Gov site to KGIS Maps will return a message that the "parcel cannot be found". (Here is an example parcel ID that exists in the E-Gov site, but no longer exists in the current KGIS map: 121GC001 .  However, one can still access the Owner Card report for these newly retired parcels from KGIS's Online Reports tool (which is located on the Online Tools dropdown list on this page).
