Does the City have a GIS application?
The City of Rancho Santa Margarita prepared an application that will allow the public to obtain property information and other frequently requested information through an online mapping service. The application utilizes the City’s Geographic Information System, commonly referred to as GIS, to provide “layers” of information through maps.

The GIS application, available at http://rsmgis.cityofrsm.org/, allows users to search for information about a property based on an address, assessor parcel number, tract/lot number or business name. The application retrieves general property information, including lot size, tract/lot number, assessor parcel number, general plan and zoning designations, flood zone and fire hazard zones, utility companies, school district and homeowners association. The application is easy to use and is designed so that previous GIS experience is not required. The GIS application also contains advanced tools for individuals with GIS experience. The advanced application allows the user to turn on and off specific layers of data, zoom in and out to specific areas and obtain information for each layer of data.

The City of Rancho Santa Margarita invites you to utilize this application in obtaining information, which in the past was only available through contacting the City by telephone or visiting City Hall. Now this information can be easily disseminated directly to the public.
