County launches new land, tax site

Carlton County is now using the Schneider Geospatial’s Beacon product for land assessment and tax information. Beacon is an interactive public access website that allows users to interact and view county information, public records, and the county’s Geographic Information Systems (GIS) in one place.

Carlton County’s web portal features a public site that includes important property taxation and assessment information, in-depth search capabilities and property reports. There is an interactive map of the county’s GIS data and aerial photography.

“Folks will now be able to retrieve property information, copies of tax statements and valuation notices … on demand online from the comfort of their own home,” said Kyle Holmes, Carlton County assessor.
