What Is A Reasonable Rate

I am a GIS analyst, basically I make computerized maps. I have been approached by several people who want parcel maps for use at a zoning/landuse meeting, for a zoning change.



From what I can tell, the maps are simple and straight forward, less than an hours work. I don’t think my analyst rate would be a fair charge. Can anyone suggest what a reasonable rate would be? Thanks

    Here in Duval County, a specific layout is required for the parcel map and it can not be created using the county’s GIS site. Thanks for the website idea, I agree, a self serve system would be the least costly approach to this.

    i dealt with historic districts before, what i am saying if tthe city demolish it , you should be able to build new but you would need to follow certian guides on style, material , and maybe exterior colors,etc. good luck.

    I am so sorry to hear that you are going through this. Try calling the media to see if their involvement will make a difference. Call your senators, etc. and find out if one of them can help. There are people around the country having experienced a lot of trouble with cities taking liberties with emminent domain laws.
    Good luck and thank you for serving, I am so happy to see you arrived home safely.

    Hi,
    As I understand it, under Eminent Domain the government is supposed to pay you fair market value for the property?
    Good Luck!

    Frequently you can make money on eminent domain. At times you have to fight a little to get the "higher" fair market value

    I am not in hawaii but i deal with zoning issues all the time. I cannot see how they can truly take away your rights to economic use and not compensate you. Are you sure this is the state and not the local county/city government? I have never seen a state to dictate zoning. Zoning most usually comes from the most local governing body. I would think a simple heart to heart between your atty and the county atty and the county atty would realize they would loose in court. I doubt there is a jury out there, which more often than not is going to have a good percentage of people on it that are property owners, that would agree to allow the government to essentially take away the rights of a property w/o just and due compensation.
