Orange County Launches New Integrated Zoning Viewer By: Orange County Communications Department

In accordance with our Digital Citizen Initiative, Orange County is excited to release a new Zoning Viewer that integrates with our established Tax Parcel Viewer. Working together, these two GIS-based web applications provide our residents with improved access to land information.

The new Zoning Viewer makes the following information more readily available to users: Official zoning map Approved Special Use Permits - Including related approval documents Approved rezonings with proffers Floodplain Cluster subdivisions Airport zoning

Open the Zoning Viewer Directly

To access the Zoning Viewer, simply open the Tax Parcel Viewer through the “GIS Map” link on the homepage of www.orangecountyva.gov and select a property. In the pop-up property overview is a link labelled “Open in Zoning Viewer.” Clicking that link will open the new viewer with the same property selected. If that property has any Special Use Permits (SUPs), they will be labelled by number, with approval documents available in the pop-up property information. Additional features include automatic county-wide zoning layer, a searchable list of all SUPs, and more. This new resource was made possible thanks to the collaborative effort of the GIS program of our Information Technology Department and the Planning & Zoning program of our Development Services Department. For more information about using the viewers, please contact Orange County GIS at gis@orangecountyva.gov or (540) 661-5458.

Access the Tax Parcel Viewer from the “GIS Map” link on the Orange County homepage. Then, select a property and click “Open in Zoning Viewer.” Useful Tip: The Zoning Viewer also features links back to the Tax Viewer, simply click “Open in Tax Viewer”
