What We Do:

GIS (Geographic Information Systems) is a technology that is quickly being embraced by many levels of government to aid in managing resources.  GIS allows roads, locations, boundaries, etc., to be accurately mapped and recorded.  GIS also allows  information about each of the mapped items to be recorded and maintained.  Effingham County will be using GIS to create and organize information on tax parcels, taxing districts, roads, soil types, emergency response zones, etc.  The GIS Department is dedicated to developing and maintaining accurate geographic databases for Effingham County.
