GIS Online

The City of Chico maintains a database of geographical information. Some of that information can be found on the City web site. Geographical information systems (GIS) makes use of computer systems to maintain geographic data for capturing, managing, analyzing, and displaying all forms of geographically referenced information.

The publicly accessible page on the city web site allows you to pan and zoom across all areas of the city. It can be used to view zoning of locations or to search for parcels. You will need to install a piece of map viewer software to view the maps, but its a pretty fast process.

Thanks Kent,
