The Pima County
Assessor's Office is converting from paper maps to electronic maps. As a
result, each Assessor's Record Map is stored in one of two basic formats,
depending on the source of each specific map. You need appropriate software to
view any of the formats online. If you
experience problems viewing any of the below map formats; it is recommended
that you read all instructions below prior to downloading any of the plug-ins.
Each Assessor's Record Map is in one of these formats:
·
TIFF format (Tagged Image File Format)
is a compressed format commonly used to store images of scanned documents.
Scanned documents on this site are in TIFF format.
You can view TIFF files directly on the web by using a
web browser plug-in or helper application outside of your web browser. Most of
these options let you view the images with pan and zoom capability. A TIFF
viewer plug-in lets you view the image in your web browser. This site was
designed to work best with viewing solutions integrated with your web browser.
Any of these options can be used with the TIFF images on this web site.
Macintosh users should see Viewing TIFF Images
on a Macintosh. Your internet browser should be able to handle this without
problems. Download and install a TIFF image viewer
plug-in to view the scanned maps.

electronic maps (DWG files). DWG files
are the standard format that AutoCAD uses to save drawings. They contain all
the drawing information, including information not needed to simply browse the
image. There are several ways to view DWG files on the web, including:
