Lincoln County began the use of GIS in the mid-1990s and aside from the Parcels (Ownership) layer has always been housed within the Planning Department. The Assessor's office has maintained the Parcels layer so as to mirror the taxation database. Along with assistance to the Planning Office, the GIS has been utilized by various offices and departments of Lincoln County including the Lincoln County Commissioners, County Clerk's office for voting and Census, Lincoln County's Office of Homeland Security for E-911 services, County Treasurer, Weed and Pest, County Engineer, Road and Bridge, Landfill, and many others.
