FORECLOSURE DATA
Milwaukee County property foreclosure data has been updated to include information added through the fourth quarter of 2011. The Foreclosure layer in the Administrative Group Layer shows foreclosed parcels that have sold in the last four quarters (January 1, 2011 through December 27, 2011). Two maps summarizing foreclosure data by a) purchaser and b) assessed value vs. sale price may be viewed by following the "Community Interest" links under the "Land Records" tab at the top of the home page. SharePoint users may access a compressed folder that includes a shapefile of parcels foreclosed over the past four quarters, a spreadsheet of all parcels scheduled for Sheriff's sale from 1/1/07 through 12/27/11, and metadata. After logging in to SharePoint, go to Documents > Shared Files > Data > MCLIO > Sheriffs Sale Foreclosure Data.

1951 AERIAL PHOTOGRAPHY

Currently, 205 of 509 tiles (40%) have been processed and have been made available for viewing via the Interactive Map Service. To view the new images, turn on the Aerial Image group layer, turn off the current image layer, expand the "More Imagery" group under the "Aerial Photos" group layer in the Interactive Mapping Service's Layer List, and turn on the "Aerial Photo 1951" layer.

MCLIO REPORT ASSESSES PLANIMETRIC CHANGE
Milwaukee County maintains digital mapping of photo-observable ground (or “planimetric”) features including buildings, sidewalks, fences, utility equipment, and hydrologic feature locations. As part of this effort, the Milwaukee County Land Information Office has recently conducted a countywide evaluation of planimetric change for the purpose of targeting areas where updates to the existing topographic/planimetric mapping (based on 2004-2005 orthophotography) are necessary. A document with links to maps showing change hotspots may be accessed by following the "Topo-Planimetric Change" link under "Community Interest" in the "Land Records" tab at the top of the home page.

NEW VERSION OF THE INTERACTIVE MAPPING SERVICE
The latest version of the Interactive Mapping Service was installed on 7/29/2011. Noteworthy changes to the site include the following:
- Aerial photo and LiDAR layers are now grouped in a way that prevents all layers from being turned on at the same time. When the check box to the right of the Aerial Photos group layer is checked, only the layer at the top (currently the 2010 natural color orthoimagery) will be made visible in the map. To view Other aerial layers, expand the "more imagery" group and select the desired layer. The LiDAR layers behave in a manner similar to the Aerials although no layer will become visible unless a desired layer is selected.
- The site is now part of Milwaukee County's private "Cloud," which, among other benefits, provides a platform for enabling convenient, on-demand access to a shared pool of configurable server resources.
- In addition to the "Cloud," the site is now utilizing ArcGIS Server 10.x .
