GIS is an acronym for Geographic Information System.

Defining Geographic Information System

A GIS is map layers combined with a database. For example, a parcel can be drawn on a map as a polygon (the geographic portion). That parcel also has information about it stored in a database such as owner name, physical address, and appraised value to name a few.

The GIS combines the 2 allowing you to ask questions in the database (e.g. show me all properties that are over 2 acres and have an appraised value of less than $250,000). Or you can ask questions on the geographic side (e.g. from the previous selected properties, deselect any that are within a mile of an interstate freeway or state highway.)
