County expands geographic information system

The County's IT Department has improved availability of information to the public through its Geographic Information System (GIS). Residents can now find tax information relating to property parcels, and permit documentation. The map imagery has also been updated. Other information available includes the latest tax deed over-the-counter sale properties, available tax lien parcels, subdivision plats and surveys, County service centers, Board of Supervisors districts, and vote centers.

Help us to improve
access to healthcare
|
As a part of Cochise Health & Social Services' effort to update the data from the 2016 Community Health Assessment, we intend to complete an analysis of the health care system in Cochise County, to specifically identify gaps in and barriers to health care in our communities. A survey is part of that analysis. It is very important to get input from community members about the different conditions and circumstances that affect how health care is delivered, managed and experienced by those we serve. Please help us by completing the
short survey
by Dec. 21.
