What is the LPI and digital map?
The LPI is a database of all the land and property in the Island. It includes every building, field, street and other physical features such as dolmens and slipways. It also holds the official address of every household.
The digital map, integrated with the LPI, is an electronic map of the island, its coastline and its reefs. It’s like other online maps such as Google Maps but is more accurate and up to date. It’s based on a full re-survey of the island in 2003, has major annual updates and regular minor changes.
The map has many views, including:
ordnance Survey style tourist maps
an aerial photograph (updated every year)
the Island Plan
CAD formatted data
parish boundaries and coastline
heat loss map
contours
a 3D map of St. Helier
Why we need the LPI and Digital Map
The LPI and Digital Map are used for delivering services such as:
parish rates

managing the environment
the Island Plan
planning applications
road maintenance
property transactions
fire and rescue services
police operations

The LPI is integrated with many parish and States’ systems to make sure we use the correct format for residential addresses. It’s the parish where a property is located that determines the official address, its style and format.
The property owner has the option to choose a name for their property and Jersey Post set all Post Codes.
