A new set of "preliminary" aerials from Winter 2024 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 2024 aerials can be toggled on by selecting "2024 Aerial Preliminary" theme in the  "Historical Aerials" section of the Maps panel. ( The default "Aerial" map theme of KGIS Maps still reflects the 2022 vintage aerials.)

While the 2024 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.

2024 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.

We have made a significant upgrade to our website Read More about it HERE. 

KGIS Maps now has support for legends!  Each map's legend can be toggled on by clicking the "Legend" tab.  The legends are dynamic and will change as one "zooms in and out".  However, it should be noted that some overlays (e.g. TCA Restriction Zones, Soil Types, etc.) may appear slightly different in the legend than they do on the map.

We have also added a link to the City Block Information documents as maintained by the City of Knoxville Technical Services Department.  When you identify a parcel located inside the City Limits,  the "Full Parcel Details" information will contain a "City Block" hyperlink to the PDF document.  Click here to see a screen shot showing the link's location.

The Soils Types and 1935 Aerails have been added to KGIS Maps.
