Tisbury Zoning and Overlay Zoning Districts

The Tisbury zoning GIS feature layer was created from on-screen digitizing of the official Tisbury Zoning map to the FY20 parcel lines. The GIS work was completed by the Martha's Vineyard Commission. The 'official Tisbury Zoning map' was created by Schoefield Barbini & Hone to the best of their ability based on the information they had at that time. Please visit the Town's website for their zoning bylaws. The overlay zoning districts are described within the Town's zoning bylaws. Some overlay zones are regarded as DCPCs (Districts of Critical Planning Concern). DCPCs are initially created and adopted by the Martha's Vineyard Commission (MVC) (the regional planning agency for Dukes County) and then adopted by the Town. The Town may choose to amend the language adopted by the MVC but only to make it more restrictive. Some overlay zones are enforced by the Board of Health and language for those zones may not appear in the Town's bylaws. The overlay zones have been compiled by the MVC from a variety & vintages of basemaps over the years based on the language within the Town's bylaws. See the attributes in the feature layer for date of last GIS edit and notes regarding compilation. The Town's parcel data is compiled by CAI Technologies per the MassGIS Level 3 parcel data standard. These data are then delivered to MassGIS for public sharing. The parcel data layer within this webmap is a direct feed from the MassGIS ArcGIS OnLine cloud. Whenever MassGIS pushes an update of the Tisbury parcels to the AGOL cloud, the parcel bounds within this webmap will automatically reflect the latest update. The property information associated with the parcel bounds is a static export and only updated at the time the parcel bounds are updated by CAI Technologies. For the most current property information, please see the Assessor's online parcel property interactive map. This website is maintained by CAI Technologies per their contract with the Town.
