Mapping feature added to website

Commissioner of State Lands John Thurston is pleased to announce that his office has added mapping capabilities to their website to assist individuals interested in researching tax delinquent properties. The mapping is available through the office’s established partnership with DataScoutPro, LLC, an Arkansas based information technology company. 

To view the mapping, interested individuals should go to the website, www.cosl.org, and choose to view the current catalog or the negotiated sales list. Once on the negotiated sales page, individuals can choose the county and then click “Map This County” which brings up an overview map of the area, much like Google Earth, with pins marking the delinquent parcels available. The interactive map includes property boundary layers, zooming and panning capabilities as well as measuring tools. On the Catalog page, the “Map County” linked is listed at the end of the county auction information. This feature is in addition to the delinquent parcels’ property details, also available for the Negotiated Sales and Catalog entries, such as: owner, legal description, assessed value, property address and photos if applicable. “The parcel level mapping of our delinquent parcels is an exciting addition to our website, it will help the public research parcels and view boundary lines quickly and easily using mapping technology that is familiar to web users,” said Thurston.

Interested researchers may visit the Commissioner of State Lands website (www.cosl.org) to view this new mapping tool. There are tips for using the mapping feature listed on our website; for additional assistance please contact the Commissioner of State Lands office at 501-324-9422.
