County auditor launches new real estate website today

Hancock County Auditor Charity Rauschenberg has announced the launch of a new, mobile-friendly real estate website today. The link to this new property search page can be accessed at https://regis.co.hancock.oh.us/. It can be viewed on smartphones and other mobile devices such as tablets. Rauschenberg selected Schneider Geospatial's Beacon product as the foremost applicable option because of its user-friendly design and overall functionality, a press release states. The site will continue to provide property taxation and assessment information, as well as search capabilities and property record reports that users are accustomed to finding on the county auditor site. This site has a new, modern look and feel with key upgrades including integration with Google Street View, improved printing capabilities and mobile responsive functionality, the release notes. The property search field uses modern technology to auto complete typing that makes searches quicker and easier. The mapping component upgrade is not only interactive, but also touchscreen-user-friendly. "While meeting the request to provide mobile accessibility, this new platform also allows us to add more information for public use. Other enhancements and tools are underway to provide easier viewing of public information," Rauschenberg said in the release. Under construction is the ability to use oblique imagery, which shows properties from all aerial sides, and a new levy estimator. The estimator will provide a tool for taxpayers to assess the financial impact of a levy by parcel. For assistance navigating the site or for more information, contact the Hancock County Auditor's office at 419-424-7015.
