Geographic Information Services
Wake County Geographic Information Services (GIS) strives to be a service-driven central resource of geographic information for Wake County, providing spatial data and solutions that enable our customers to accomplish their business purposes.
Geographic Information Services serves as a clearinghouse and central distributor of geographic information for Wake County. To support this distribution effort, GIS has a primary responsibility for developing and maintaining core geographic databases needed by our customers. To accomplish these two business services, GIS staff provides technical support including needs analysis, programming/application development, software support, database development, training and project management. The technical support provided by staff is tightly integrated with the two business services, in that staff must have the technical infrastructure, expertise and support to provide and maintain the information, services, databases and capabilities that are needed by our customers.
Wake County GIS provides services to two customer groups. Our primary focus is to serve as an internal service agency to Wake County agencies. A second focus is to provide extensive mapping, geographic information and assistance directly to other governmental jurisdictions and the public. As a result, internal and external customers directly influence the division’s workload and priorities.
Wake County GIS is located in Room 506 of the Wake County Office Building, at 337 S. Salisbury St. in Raleigh. Our main phone number is 919-856-6360. We are open from 8:30 a.m.-5:15 p.m., Monday - Friday. Click here for additional contact information.
