I am trying to determine if it would be beneficial to my organization to migrate our data into the parcel fabric, mainly so that we would be able to use the existing templates to share our data with other offices and the public.  I am a one woman show and we do not have IT staff on site.  Currently we do not possess a server license or an organizational account on ArcGIS online.  We are entertaining the idea of purchasing an organizational account but that is only if we would be able to share our parcel maps with the public at a cheaper cost than our current vender. 

So my question is, what are the benefits of migrating? 

Are there applications/templates that can be used with an organizational account or is server required? 

As is the issue with most government offices today, a server license is not an option with our current budget constraints. 

Thank you.

Laura, this is quite the loaded question.

I think that an organization account would be a great way of pursuing the idea of a hosted map service via arcgis online for Parcels.  The Parcel Editing solution works efficiently in conjunction with the local government information model.  The parcel data maintained with the Parcel solution could be used to produce a set of maps and apps that can be utilized by the County Assessor, or citizens of the community.

Here are 2 sample configurable maps and apps that are available with the Local Government Information Model.
