Parcels Plus+

"Accurate US land parcel data enhanced with up-to-date tax roll attributes"

The acquisition of accurate and up-to-date geospatial land parcel information can be a challenge for any GIS manager who tries to assemble parcel data from various public sources. Not only does the availability and price of the data vary from county to county, it can also vary in quality, completeness, consistency, vintage, format and a host of other metrics. A question any GIS manager might want to ask is: "Why would I spend hours or days tracking down data hidden deep within various county departments only to find that the data is fundamentally inaccurate, in the wrong format, cost prohibitive or simply just not available or not what I expected?" The short answer to this question is that it often makes more sense to save valuable time and purchase parcel data from a company such as eMap who has taken all the necessary steps to deliver an accurate, complete and consistent dataset in a timely manner.

As a vendor of the largest available US parcel database, eMap International has built a track record of success by listening to its customers and leveraging our past experiences. A frequent request we get from customers is whether or not we can provide "enhanced" parcel boundaries that includes regularly updated tax roll information such as owner phone number, owner mailing address, assessed values, legal descriptions and more in addition to the standard fields that are delivered with our baseline parcel data. Since the parcel boundaries and tax roll information are maintained by different county departments (most often GIS and the Assessor respectively), they are rarely delivered with the most up-to-date information if purchased directly from the county.

In response to these requests, eMap has created a unique GIS product called Parcels Plus+ for those clients seeking detailed tax roll data linked to accurate parcel boundaries. This data provides an enhanced view of property activity in any particular county and can help give oil and gas professionals, geologists or engineers an edge when making land decisions. If you think you might be able to benefit from Parcels Plus+, please contact eMap today at (303) 877-2721 or adiamond@emap-int.com for more information and/or a price quote.
