3. What if a road name is wrong on the GIS Website?

If the road is within the county jurisdiction, a request form should be filled out. Include the current road name and indicate what the correct road name should be. Email or deliver the form to the GIS office and an employee will research the discrepancy to determine the correct name. If the road lies within a city limit, then the city will need be notified.
