[WEB4LIB] Local Gov Web Sites

[Andrew Mutch]

Jim,

We currently have a few forms and permits on-line -- we are gradually adding more as I have time.  You can find them at:

http://www.twp.waterford.mi.us/general/eforms.htm

We'll be adding the ability to query our tax databases very soon.  We also have an interactive GIS component at:

http://www.twp.waterford.mi.us/waterfordGIS/

One of the leaders in interactive government web sites is the City of Indianapolis.  I think they used to have a goal of two new interactive features per week - you can see their handiwork at:

Municipal Web Services links to some innovate sites at:

To just general browse around the country, Piper Resources has a pretty comprehensive list of sites at the State, County and local level at:

Good luck!

While good integrated sites that deliver static information (names of elected officials, office hours, summer park programs, how to register to vote, etc.) are nice, I am really looking for places that allow interactive use such as getting your dog a license, paying traffic tickets, filing a petty theft report, signing your kid up for little league, etc.
