A Business Plan for Statewide Parcel Data Integration for Minnesota

Development of a statewide parcel data set is one of the top data priorities for stakeholders in Minnesota. While several programs exist to collect parcel data and distribute it within regional groups or single agencies, a comprehensive process for combining parcels statewide has never been established.

This business plan, published September 2012, proposes a prudent and effective approach for aggregating a seamless, statewide parcel data layer. It is based on extensive input obtained from surveys, a workshop and research.

MnGeo coordinated the project with substantial input and assistance from the advisory committee and the consultant team. Work was done collaboratively with numerous stakeholders, including local governmental units through their statewide organizations and Minnesota’s Parcels and Land Records Committee. The work was funded in part by a Federal Geographic Data Committee CAP grant.
