Data requests go to the state instead of
data steward – data provider saves time
Data hosted at state – perhaps less
infrastructure needed by data steward
Improved public experience – one site
to access data
Possible maintenance assistance
Consistent format assists in accessing
adjacent data & in developing apps

Food for Thought
Data model
Update frequency
Data workflow

History of Parcel Development in ND
Not new…a few counties & city
jurisdictions began mapping parcels in
GIS in the late 1990s - early 2000s
HB 1303 in the 2007 Legislative session
is what really jump started parcel
development. This bill mandated the
use of soils for agricultural tax
assessment by 2012…or else.
14. 13
Benefits of GIS at the County Level
• Uniform agricultural land assessment
1944 soil survey 1998 survey Web soil survey
With GIS there is a seamless transition
when soil data is updated by NRCS.
15. 14
Benefits of GIS at the County Level
• Ease everyday workflows
• Parcel boundaries & imagery right there
• Buffering parcels for public notice
requirements
• Viewing sales data
…etc.
16. 15
Issues of GIS at the County Level
• Open records requests
• Maintenance of the parcel data
Budget

NDAAO Parcel Surveys
Extent of parcel mapping with GIS
What GIS programs used in your office or jurisdiction
for parcel maintenance?
What GIS programs used in your office or jurisdiction
for online parcel viewing?
If you have your parcels online, please copy a link to
the site here:
Can the public download a copy of your GIS parcel
data online?
How are GIS data requests handled by your office?
18. Survey Results – 2016
48/53 counties have parcel data in GIS
21/48 counties have parcel mapping
services for viewing geospatial data online
But only 6/21 allow GIS downloads online
However – not all jurisdictions have the
same level of completion & parcel
development is a continual work in progress.
19 counties have ALL parcels in GIS.

Topics
Benefits
ArcGIS Online map for SWAT
• Rural areas across the state
• Various jurisdictions
Regional projects
• Red River Diversion
Same Coordinate System
23. 22
Topics
Concerns
Timeliness of updates
• Local versions would be better
Sharing Methods
• FTP, Web Services, etc.
Privacy Concerns
• Searchable data
– Should owner name be searchable?
28. Parcels in Private Industry
City information, land ownership
Platted right-of-way
Calculating assessments (property
frontages)
Right-of-way acquisition
Property notifications

29. Our Benefit
Parcel data is the
hub of any map
or application
that we generate
Time spent
finding and
acquiring parcels
Provides a single
point to pursue
data
28
30. Concerns
Accuracy – Spatially and temporally
Missing vital attributes to the parcel
files
Ownership/name is paramount
Municipal engineers would like mailing
addresses
Real Estate would like to see taxes
Public safety would like site address
Developers would like zoning

Discussion
Ask questions - to the panel or a person
We will be taking notes and intend to
compile the feedback
This feedback will be used for input
We probably don’t have all of the
answers
For topics needing more discussion and
hashing out – more meetings!
