This policy defines procedures for service requests related
to digital information that is contained within the County's GIS database
and printed output thereof. Digital and/or hard copy maps of the information
in the GIS database will be made available to any member of the general
public upon completion of a signed request form, signed data sharing
agreement and/or payment of the appropriate fee. The general public
includes the public and private sector, consultants, utility companies,
nonprofit organizations, etc. All digital data will be in the NAD83
State Plane coordinate system with the units of measure being feet,
or the current projection and units recognized by the Atlantic County
Office of GIS. It should be noted that any use of this product with
respect to accuracy and precision shall be the sole responsibility
of the user, as these products are intended only for display and planning
purposes.
Fees are established by this article adopted by the Board of
County Commissioners. Payment shall be made at the time the applicant
files the request form. An application will not be considered complete
unless payment in the correct amount and in an approved form is received.
The approved forms of payment are certified check, cashier's check,
money order, and bank check. No third party checks or personal checks
will be accepted. All checks shall be made payable to the Atlantic
County Treasurer.
Maps or data will be supplied as soon as possible upon request
and submission of the correct fee. Mail-in requests will be accepted
with completed application and fee. The results can be picked up in
person by the requestor or express mailed if the requestor makes payment
arrangements with the express mail service. Data requested may be
provided in hard media or via e-mail or download. Digital transfer
of data files is the preferred delivery method.
