Not law but interesting - Vanderburgh County assessor's site to feature images of property
According to a story in the Evansville CourierPress today:
Ground-level photographs of properties in Vanderburgh County are being added to the county assessor's Web site. So far, photographs of about 13,000 structures primarily in Pigeon, Knight and Center townships are available at the Web site (www.assessor.evansville.net). * * *The photographs will be helpful for appraisers, real estate agencies and people shopping for homes, according to [Assessor Cheryl Musgrave ]. She said the goal of her Web site is to provide "everything you need when you're trying to learn about a piece of property," and a photograph "is worth 1,000 words." The feature was created at no additional cost to the county, said Musgrave.
To use the feature, log on to the Web site and click on "search our databases" on the left-hand side. Choose "assessment database with GIS mapping," then click on "property search." Type in the address of the property and then "search." Then click on "view map" on the right side of the screen under search results and then on the link below the map and next to the owner's name. If no photograph is available, none will appear.
Musgrave said it will be up to township assessors on how quickly more photographs are added. "Each township proceeds along at their own discretion," Musgrave said.
