Henry County expands GIS tools for parcel, planning, and public records lookups

Henry County announced on March 11, 2026 that it launched an upgraded GIS platform designed to improve public access to parcel information, planning layers, and map-based county data.

County officials said the update improves navigation and makes it easier for residents, businesses, and contractors to view zoning and property context when preparing permits, site plans, or real-estate decisions.

For the Martinsville-Henry desk, the operational impact is practical: better GIS usability can reduce friction in everyday tasks such as address verification, land-use checks, and pre-development research.

The rollout also signals continued county investment in digital service delivery as spring permitting and planning activity increases.
