Did you know that residents can easily find out property information, subdivision plats, and various maps all through Peoria County’s Front Desk application? Front Desk, which underwent a significant upgrade in early 2022, is available through the County’s website and is free of charge. This workshop will guide users through looking up property characteristics, tax assessments, and residential sales. Interactive maps are also available through the Front Desk map application, including aerial photos, subdivision plats, streets, and topographic maps. Peoria County's GIS manager will demonstrate how to navigate the map application in this hands-on workshop. This program takes place in a computer lab, but participants may also bring their own device if they prefer. This class is free but requires registration through ICC.
