Title: Integrating Geographic Data in a Tax Assessment System

Abstract: This paper presents the integration of spatial data with the Assessment and Taxation System for Kitsap

County, WA. The design was intended to eliminate data discrepancies associated with multiple versions of data in

different systems, provide the ability to query and maintain both spatial and non-spatial data from anywhere

in the system, and increase overall performance in serving spatial data to diverse client applications. An intersect

table containing denormalized data is used at the core of the integration. This technique shifts the workload to

data maintenance and increases data query performance.
