Welcome to the Town of Carrboro's Geographic Information System.
A GIS is a database of all kinds of information that has location, so it can be mapped. The Town of Carrboro offers interactive maps for information that is best viewed by zooming in or panning around or selecting features to obtain information. Click on an application below to open them.
 | Carrboro GIS | This is an interactive map with many layers of information in it: environmental constraints and topography and floodplains and parcels and imagery. You can print a map from it, but it requires some work to find things. If you just want a PIN number, use Find Addresses. If you just want Zoning or Development information, use Zoning. |
 | Find Addresses | Search for an address in Orange County and click on the map to get land parcel information: PINs and owner names. |
 | Zoning | The Zoning Application includes an interactive Carrboro zoning map and information about the zones. Search for a zone and click on the map for a link to zoning definitions, setbacks, and permitted uses. | |
 | Current Development | Information about and locations for active development projects in Carrboro's planning jurisdiction. The current developments are points displayed in the zoning application. Click on the point for a link to descriptions of the development. |
 | City Schools (CHCCS) | The CHCCS application shows the current school districts in the Chapel Hill Carrboro City Schools (CHCCS). You can search for an address within the school district. Click on the map for the school assignments. |
 | Floodplain | This application shows the current North Carolina Floodmapping floodplain and property lines, for determining whether a property is in the floodplain. You can search by address. You can also, in a separate application, examine the actual Flood Insurance Rate Maps (FIRMs). The FIRMs can be printed on a large-format plotter as .pdfs; however, they do not show property lines. |
 | Download Digital Data | Download digital files of Carrboro data. The data is in tiles, which you pick from a map. Currently available: 2003 topography (2-foot contours) in .dxf format, zipped, and 2008 orthophotography in MrSid (.sid) format. Town-wide layers for some Carrboro data is available in shapefile or .dxf format. |
 | Maps to Print | You can print maps you create yourself using the main interactive GIS maps or you can print some pre-made maps, available as .pdfs: Maps to Print. |

The Town of Carrboro makes no warranty expressed or implied as to the correctness or accuracy of the data displayed on this site.
Town of Carrboro and Orange County regulations, definitions, and ordinances take precedence over any information presented in the GIS data on this site. No information presented here has the same authority as or in any way replaces a survey, and the locations of features such as streams, stream buffers, property lines, building footprints, rights of way, or any other feature are generalized and to be used for planning and information purposes only.
GIS data has been captured at different times, in different scales, and using different projections and measurement systems and will therefore not always overlay accurately. It is the responsibility of the map user to check information with public sources and surveys. In addition, parcel data on this site updated monthly, so it can be up to two months old. Parcel data should be verified with public record sources at Orange County Land Records. |
