Portal audited: assessor.gilacountyaz.gov/assessor/web/, selfservice.gilacountyaz.gov/web/user/disclaimer, taxes.gilacountyaz.gov/treasurer2/web/, gilacountyaz.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=bca47d05176246979c3301f0d641110b

Doing well

  • A notification system that alerts residents when their records are accessed

Room to grow

  • Expanding the robots.txt file to disallow automated scrapers

What to ask for
