The  School Zone Search and KGIS Maps applications have now been updated to display the recently adopted 2013-2014 elementary and intermediate school zone boundaries for Knox County. The elementary and intermediate zones were adjusted in the western portion of the county to accommodate the new Southwest Elementary School.[Note: High and Middle school zone boundaries are not scheduled to change.] For more information about the zone changes, visit the Knox County Schools website.

The Topographic Map in KGIS Maps has been re-designed and updated to now include more named  natural landform features, including ridges, streams, gaps, valleys and river bends, along with named points of interests. The urban wilderness trails of S. Knoxville have also been added, along with the recently completed 2010 elevation contours for the eastern half of Knox County (incl. downtown) [Note: the western half reflects 2008 elevation data]. The ability to search for many of these named features is available via the Place Search (located on the top search panel of KGIS Maps).

We are in the midst of transitioning our old web site portal to a newer model. As a result, many of the old pages (and URLs) have changed. In particular,  the Owner Card and Property Map & Details reports are now accessed via the Online Reports page. In the meanwhile, if you have trouble locating the information you need, please contact us at 865.215.2641.

KGIS's 20th Anniversary Event was not only well-attended, but it was also an excellent showcase of the various ways that our respective departments are using GIS technology. Chris Halcomb and the Event Planning Committee did a wonderful job of pulling all the details together to make for a smooth operation. And Dwight Kessel's "KGIS Champion" remarks made note of the "spirit of cooperation" that led to KGIS's initial founding. KGIS Day 20 Years Brochure.
