2022 Aerials Now Available

Preliminary aerials for 2022 added to KGIS Maps

A new set of "preliminary" aerials from Spring 2022 have been added to KGIS Maps These aerials are a by-product of the oblique photography capture conducted by  EagleView\Pictometry (on behalf of the Knox County Property Assessor's office and KGIS). The more accurate version of these aerials will be made available later this year.

These 2022 aerials can be toggled on by selecting "2022 Aerial Preliminary" theme in the  "Historical Aerials" section of the Maps panel. ( The default "Aerial" map theme of KGIS Maps still reflects the 2020 vintage aerials.)

While the 2022 aerial image is an accurate representation of ground conditions (at the time taken), it has not been fully rectified and should ONLY be used with the following understanding:

  • The imagery has NOT been fully rectified to ground control and is not as accurate as a true orthophoto.
  • The imagery may have breaks, gaps, and other issues. This is especially true around elevated features such as bridges and overpasses.
  • Due to weather and ground conditions, the full project was acquired over a 2-3 month time period. Therefore, one will notice that some areas have more vegetatin than others.

2022 Aerial Oblique images are also available. Access them via the Launch...Pictometry tool in the blue command strip at the top of the KGIS Maps page.

TN House and Senate District Boundaries Updated

New "2022" boundaries are now the DEFAULT map on KGIS

The Tennessee State House and Senate district boundaries have been updated on the KGIS system to reflect the newly adopted "2022" boundaries as approved and signed into law in February of 2022. 

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 regarding one's state House or Senate representative should be directed to the State Comptroller's Office. (Click here to access the State's Re-districting dashboard). 

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.   

The following applications have all been updated to display/report using the new "2022" Districts: 

  • Voting Location Search
  • Parcel Map & Details Map
  • KGIS Maps: TN State Representative; TN State Senate Map themes
  • KGIS Maps: Parcel Identify...Get Full Parcel Details....Voting Information tab.
  • The Ready Made Maps:TN State House and TN State Senate maps

 For information on voting locations contact the Knox County Election Commission. (website).
