Geographic Information Systems (GIS) view and analyze data from a geographic perspective. GIS can be used to work with geographic information as a database, a map or a model.

The Orange County GIS program consists of several staff groups; Department teams support local needs, while enterprise teams support overall county GIS needs.

Enterprise GIS teams support the overall GIS needs of the County. The Enterprise GIS teams are:

Countywide GIS
The Countywide GIS team is charged with initiating and coordinating enterprise GIS data, technology and business system modernization to increase operational efficiency and support decision making across County agencies.  In its capacity as the coordinating office for countywide GIS policy implementation and GIS projects, Countywide GIS administers the County GIS Data Repository and other enterprise GIS systems such as the InfoMap Internet mapping application, ALADIN (Addressing, Land and Development Information Network), and the County GIS Information Portal.

GIS Maintenance
The GIS Maintenance team is responsible for developing, implementing and editing the county framework layers. This group manages data workflow as well as quality control and quality assurance in countywide data. Some of the data maintained by this group includes roads, drainage, jurisdiction, land use, neighborhoods and political boundaries.

What's the difference between a static or paper map and a GIS interactive map? A big difference is that GIS maps are dynamic. While you can look at a static map and see where features are located and even measure approximate distances between them, you can't do much more than that. With a GIS map, however, you are in charge. You can zoom in and out to see different areas with more or less detail, you can decide what features you want to see and how they are symbolized, and, most importantly, you can access a database of information about all the features shown on the map.

The following PDF maps show commonly requested features.  They can be viewed and printed with Adobe Acrobat Reader. The maps are formatted to print on 36"x60" paper, but can be scaled up or down to fit other paper sizes.  Please note that these maps are current as of 9/23/09; for the latest available version please use Infomap.

Create custom maps on demand with InfoMap. Orange County's interactive mapping tool offers access to over 150 types of property, land use, and other information. Citizens can research zoning, the location of emergency services and schools, aerial photography and more.  Please note your browser must allow popups and cookies in order for InfoMap to function.

Please view our FTP Download of GIS Data webpages for complete information on do-it-yourself GIS data download.  The County's Geographic Information System (GIS) database was developed to support many of the County's planning, environmental and regulatory activities. This database includes a considerable amount of information that is potentially of value to governmental agencies, as well as to private businesses and citizens. Use of these data requires a general understanding of GIS.

Orange County's GIS Hotline is now available for help with information requests, InfoMap, technical support and more.  Call 407-836-0066 to reach a Geographic Information Systems specialist.  You may also email gis@ocfl.net.  We look forward to hearing from you.
