These photos can be accessed through a variety of means.

All aerial photos are sent out to a Statewide Planning approved vendor for reproduction. Customers are responsible for the payment, pick up and/or delivery of said reproductions. Original photos may not be borrowed. If original photos are required for a subpoena, they must remain in the custody of a staff member from Statewide Planning at all times. Reproductions can be certified stating that it is a copy of the archived original housed within Statewide Planning.
