ALACHUA COUNTY, FL - The Geographic Information Systems (GIS) Division of the Department of Growth Management has added a new GIS service to Growth Management's website. Developed by Growth Management staff, the Geographic Code Enforcement Tracker (GeoCE) is a web-based application that allows both County staff and citizens of Alachua County to report code violations and track Code Enforcement activities in the field and office in real time.
GeoCE provides internet users access to all Code Enforcement information from 1994 to date for the first time. Previously, this information was not readily available to the public. Code Enforcement Officers in the field are able for the first time to access information via laptop computers as they perform their daily work. GeoCE allows County staff and other county local governments access to Code Enforcement data.
GeoCE users can view, query and download information on code violations. Searches can be made by parcel, address or Section Township Range. Queries and information can be obtained by violation type, violation category, frequency of violation, status of case, etc. GeoCE gives users the ability to create different types of maps online that are linked to the full County code violation history since 1994 with no need for GIS expertise or software. Users can also report code violations by following this link:

GIS staff worked closely with its GIS users as well as Code Enforcement Officers in developing this service.
Citizens who need assistance working with this new tool can call Juna Papajorgji, Alachua County Growth Managment GIS Manager, at 352-384-3180.
