Land
Resource Centre Information
The
Land Resource Centre is comprised of two divisions - Equalization
& G.I.S. While each division has
its unique responsibilities, our service is distinctly
singular when our customers walk through the door.
The Equalizationdivision
maintains a property information database for the County's
33,000 plus parcels. Ownership, property descriptions,
school districts, property taxes and tax rates, property
sales history and trends, and a host of other land-related
information.

Equalization
The
G.I.S. division - Geographic Information
Systems (or simply put, property mapping) maintains
the property ownership boundaries for nearly the entire
County. Other maps such as zoning, soils, hydrology
(water to the rest of us), topology, aerial photography,
and the County's road network are also available.

Property
Addressing
The
G.I.S. division of the Land Resource Centre issues new
addresses to all rural properties in St Joseph County.
In other words, if you are about to build a home
and your property is NOT within the corporate limits of
a City or Village, you will need to communicate with our
office to obtain an address. In most cases you
will need the new address before you can proceed with
water, sewer or building permits.
To
obtain an address you will need to provide the following
information:
If
the parcel was split from a larger parcel, a copy of the
split approval from the local government is necessary.
If a survey was required for split approval you will need
to present a copy for addressing.
A
legal description or a deed copy.
A
drawing reasonably depicting the location of the structure
in terms of side-yard and front-yard setbacks
