    A surface is said to have coordinate finite-type Gauss map if $\Delta G=-AG$, where $G$ is the Gauss map of the surface and $A=\operatorname{diag}(\lambda_1,\lambda_2,\lambda_3)$ is a diagonal matrix. A surface in the simply isotropic space $\mathbb{I}^3$ is said to be invariant if there exists a 1-parameter subgroup that leaves it invariant. The aim of this paper is to characterize the invariant surfaces with coordinate finite-type Gauss map in $\mathbb{I}^3$. The authors consider two different normal Gauss maps: The first one, $\mathbf{N}_m$, is called the minimal normal, since the trace of $d\mathbf{N}_m$ vanishes identically, while the second one, $G$, is called the parabolic normal, since it takes values on a unit sphere of parabolic type. In both cases, the authors obtain explicit formulas for the invariant coordinate finite-type Gauss map surfaces. Surfaces with harmonic normals, minimal or parabolic, without the invariant assumption, are also studied in the paper.
