>> County Auditor's Reciprocal Data Agreement

CARDA was established in 1995 to encourage intergovernmental cooperation by exchange of data, thereby enhancing the Auditor's GIS.

CARDA members provide the Auditor's Office with detailed information regarding building permits, school expansion and building plans, underground tanks, park locations and amenities and any other data that can be useful in the Auditor's appraisal process. In exchange for this information, CARDA members are provided with quarterly updates on a CD-ROM at no charge. This not only provides them with up-to-date information that can be used to meet the needs of the individual agency, but it also provides them with a permanent record of a periodic snapshot in time.

In conjunction with the distribution of the CD-ROM, a forum is scheduled where CARDA members are provided with an update of the latest addition or enhancements to the Auditor's database. In addition, one of the CARDA members provides a presentation explaining how their agency is using the Auditor's data, which is then followed by an open discussion. There are approximately 80 CARDA members from municipalities, villages, townships, county agencies, state agencies, school districts, libraries and area commissions.
