The parcel search applications were developed using the ArcIMS Site Starter applications from ESRI and were customized and tested using Internet Explorer 6.0. There currently are two applications, one for Elkhart and
one for St. Joseph. Both are capable of searching by the property owner, the property address, and the parcel identification number assigned by the auditors office. The St. Joseph parcel search application is also capable of
searching by township and zip code. Unlike the original parcel search applications, the current applications will perform searches on the first and last names regardless of the capitalization or the order typed and
additional fields (such as the property address) can be searched to narrow down the results returned. For instance, searching for Smith will return 567 results just in Elkhart County. By searching for John Smith, I can narrow my results to 16
records, and by adding the name of the street, Windsong, I narrow my results to a single record. Also, the option to search by parcel number allows the end user to search for a specific parcel number, or part of a
parcel number to find parcels in the general area of the search. |
