Otter Tail County has enhanced its Geographic Information System (GIS) map, introducing a permit view feature to make accessing and reviewing permits faster and more convenient. Past permits issued in the 1970s and all current permits are now accessible directly on the map. The links will take users to the actual permit.

The updated function allows for easy access to view the permits. Users can quickly locate permits associated with any parcel in Otter Tail County, including shoreland permits, variance permits, septic permits, and more. The permit view function ensures professionals and residents can easily search by address, parcel number, or permit type, making the process efficient.

“With this new feature, we’re providing easy access to information,” said Chris LeClair, Otter Tail County’s Land and Resource Director. “Whether you’re a resident, contractor, or realtor, this tool saves time and streamlines services.”

To explore the new permit view feature, visit the Otter Tail County GIS map at www.ottertailcounty.gov/gis-maps. Select the GIS Web App, navigate to the parcel of interest, and click the “Permits” option. If any permits are associated with the parcel, they will appear for viewing.
