The primary goal of the Mapping Office is to support the efforts of the Property Tax
Assessment Department, to insure that properties are correctly identified, through the inspection of all new deeds and municipal subdivision plans, updating Tax Maps to accurately reflect those deeds and plans, and provide other property information for the tax rolls. The second goal is to make this wealth of information available to the public. A subsidiary goal is to perform mapping and geographic services for other departments within Berks County Government.
