Local Government Working Collectively Using GIS Tools
The Village of Lake Zurich joined the GIS Consortium in 2024 as the 46th community member. The GIS Consortium is an organization of Chicago-area communities unified by a common goal: to share resources, information, staffing, and technology so that municipalities can optimize the value of geographic information systems (GIS).
Members of the GIS Consortium staff provided an overview at the August 4th Board Meeting on two
self-service information websites:
The Community Portal, where typing in your Lake Zurich address lets you discover more about your community including:
> Garbage collection days
> Political representation
> Zoning information
> Property tax information
The Community Map Viewer starts with a map view of Lake Zurich with various layers exposing different information including:
> Parcel lines
> School boundaries
> Zoning information
> Police beats
You'll see links to both the Community Portal and Map Viewer added to the Village Website real soon to bring you real-time information in addition to content that is updated a few times a year.
We encourage you to use both links and explore our community.
