When I 'Zoom In' and 'Zoom Out' on the maps, I noticed some map features appear and some map features disappear. Why?

Many of the map features on the V2V Property Search Mapare scale dependent so that only the information appropriate for that map scale are exhibited. Address points, for example, are numerous and if they were all displayed at the same time on a map showing the whole city in the view, the numbers would overlap each other and be unreadable. Instead, as we zoom closer to an area, we are only looking at a small subset of the address points and each address number is more readable.

The ownership data you are showing on the website is incorrect. Will you update it?

The V2V Property Search Map displays the State Department of Assessments and Taxation ownership information as a convenience, however we cannot legally make any changes to the ownership database. These changes can only be made with the County Assessor directly, and will only be reflected on our website after we receive the data update.
