NEW – Buffer Map Calculator
We are excited to launch the new Buffer Map Calculator. Customers can now estimate the cost of a buffer map and use the pdf quote to make requests; the tool includes the options for Labels, Planning Forms and Email listing. Customers should note that there are limitations to the tool as the option for adjacent parcels are not included at the moment and the option to include leases will be included over time. Importantly, customers should note that calculations using this tool is for information purposes only and will be assessed in-house once the request for a buffer is made. Buffer map requests can be sent to mappinginfo@gov.ky

Parcel Change History
This tool now allows you to trace the history of parcel changes using the mutation report.

Registry Document Tracking
