Westmoreland: e-Services Subscription Info

In order to better serve the professional community that requires more timely and greater detail from county databases, Westmoreland County is making web-based access available under its current fee based access subscription service. The subscribed portion of this web site is similar to the free public searches, but with greater functionality and more current data availability.

The chart below summarizes the key elements offered in free and paid access:

County Office	Records Type	Free Public Search	Paid Subscription Added Features
Tax Assessment	Real Property	Limited information from the current tax duplicate	All current tax year data plus changes subsequent to the issuance of the duplicate
Prothonotary	Civil Court	All civil court docketed records from 1985 to present	All imaged documents from 2002 forward
Register of Wills	Marriage	From 1885 to present	Same as free public search.
Register of Wills	Estate	From 1986 to present	Same as free public search.
Tax Mapping Available November 1, 2007.	G.I.S.	View various GIS tax mapping layers including digital aerial photography, and tax assessment data that is linked to the parcel features such as parcel owner. Interactive mapping tools also available.	Download up to 500 parcels in ESRI shape file format per month.* More GIS functionality on the interactive map than the non-subscribed users.

This service is provided as a convenience to the professional community to save time and costs normally associated with obtaining this type of data. The fee for the subscription service is $25.00 per month and includes a signed, one year contract which will automatically renew each year unless cancelled within 30 days of the renewal date. All contracts automatically renew November 30 of each year. The $25.00 monthly fee allows access to all our public systems with 50 minutes of access time per month. Access time exceeding the 50 minutes will be billed at $.50 per minute.

Access to the enhanced GIS tax mapping web site is available for a $15.00 additional subscription surcharge. This enhanced GIS subscription will NOT be billed by the minute, thereby giving unlimited access time to the GIS data. As more data layers are added to the web site they will be automatically made available. In some cases, if those layers are made available for downloading additional charges may apply. If additional charges do apply, subscribers of this service will be notified. More details will be provided at a later date.

To subscribe to this service, click here. Once the form is submitted, more information will be sent in addition to the required contracts for signature.

*The subscriber selects a parcel(s) from the map and uses the "extract tool" that provides a hyperlink to download the data. The GIS parcel data is downloaded as a zip file. In addition, the parcels contain the assessment attribute data. Subscribers will be billed the current authorized rates for the downloaded parcel data which currently is $1.05 per parcel polygon for government and non-profit organizations and $2.55 per parcel polygon for private organizations. For higher volume needs subscribers will need to contact the Information Systems department of Westmoreland County.
