+- Search Tools

Search by Address

Enter an address and click the search button. KGIS Lite is equipped with a geocoding engine that will attempt to validate the address against official Knox County addresses. The search results are based on address points NOT address ranges like other web mapping sites. The geocoder has been customzied to handle special cases in Knox County and should return a good list of potential address matches.

If a match score of 100 is returned, the address will automatically be located in the map. Otherwise a list of potential addresses will be returned to the "Search Results" panel. Click the address in the list to locate it.

For the best results DO NOT enter city, state, or zip code information.

If you can't find the address you are looking for through the basic address search, you can use the "Address Builder" dialog. As you enter the street name a list of official street names containing the entered string will appear in the list box. Select the street you are interested in and the list of offical house numbers will be updated. Select a house number and the units will load (when applicable). Click the OK button to locate the address.

Search by Parcel ID

This search allows you to enter a Parcel ID and locate it on the map. Parcel IDs must conform to the following format CCCIGPPPSSL where:

CCC = CLT Map #

I = Insert

G = Group

PPP= Parcel Number

SS = Parcel Number SubUnit

L = Condo Letter

The CLT Map number and Parcel Number are represented by three numric digits (where zeros are important). The Insert and Group fields may be blank. However, you will need to insert a space for these.
Below is a list of example Parcel IDs:
094LE041
030  211
116  04206
093HG00601
131KA02261A
066  13219Q
059OB01107

Search by Owner

This search will allow you to enter a owner's name and get a list of parcels owned by that individual. Owner names are stored by Last Name - First Name format. You can enter only a portion of the owner's name and you will get all parcels with an owner name that contains the entered name. For example - if you enter "SMITH" you will get parcels with the following owners:

SMITH MARY

SMITH JOHN AND JACK FROST

JOHN DOE AND SMITH CHUCK

JANE DOE AND SMITHSON ROGER

The search results are limited to only 400 records. If your initial search returns more than 400 records try to refine your criteria. For instance in the example above, "SMITH" will return more than 400 records. However, "SMITH J" will limit the search results to less than 400 records.

Find Intersection

This dialog work much like the address builder dialog. As you enter a primary street name a list of potential street name matches are returned. Pick a street name from the list and a list of cross streets will be returned. Some streets have multiple intersections (i.e. a street loops back to the street it came from) these are listed as numbered intersections so that you can locate them individually.

Important Note: the cross street list is based on a dynamic spatial query performed when you select the primary street. Therefore, if you use a long street with lots of segments (e.g. Kingston Pike, Chapman Hwy, Rutledge Pike, etc.) it will take a few seconds for the cross street list to return. In these cases try using the shorter segment as the primary street. For example: if you want the intersection of Huxley Rd and Kingston Pike use Huxley Rd as the primary street.

Find Subdivision

As you enter a subdivision name a list of potential matches are returned in the list box. Select the subidivision you want to find in the list and click OK. The subdivision will be highlighted in the map.
