The County Commission and School Board district boundaries have been updated on the KGIS system to reflect the newly adopted "2022" boundaries as approved by Knox County Commission in October of 2021.
Every 10 years, the US Census Bureau conducts extensive population counts to ensure equal representation by government. If the updated population tallies reveal that some districts have significantly more or fewer people than the others, the district boundaries must be adjusted to rebalance the population.
The various maps and reports on the KGIS website have all now been updated to display these newly adopted "2022" boundaries. Any questions about regarding one's commissioner or School Board representative should be directed to the Knox County Commission. (website).
The new "2022" boundaries that display on the KGIS system are, to the best of our knowledge, the certified boundaries as provided to KGIS by the Knoxville-Knox County Planning department. It is KGIS's understanding that these new "2022" boundaries were based upon the US Census data, and are therefore dependent upon the accuracy and precision of those source map datasets. Users of the KGIS system should note that the boundaries do not always align with KGIS's basemap features, especially at the "zoomed in" levels. More information about the redistricting effort in Knox County can be found on the Knoxville-Knox County Planning website.
The following applications have all been updated to display/report using the new "2022" Districts:
