City Property

I. Overview The City Property system tracks both city owned and trustee properties. It is designed to maintain information from purchase to sale. It is not designed to manage the acquisition process or any other process outside this timeframe. II. Security The system provides several levels of security. Currently the system is in External General Access mode where no login is required. This level provides full access to the property map and read-only access to a limited set of property information on the details page. The login page is accessed through a link located in the upper right corner of all major pages. III. Navigation The system displays two main pages, the Property Map and the Property Details. 1) Property Map Page (Figure 1) a) Map Frame i) The Map displays the location of every property in the City’s inventory and indicates the owner or trustee department with a distinct color combination. The map legend (Figure 2) can be displayed by selecting the page’s Filter menu item. ii) The visible extent of the map can be changed by either zooming or dragging the map to the desired location. iii) Clicking on a mapped property will produce a popup window that displays the selected property’s basic information.
