The State of Vermont, through a project originated at the Agency of Transportation, worked over a 3-year period to develop a statewide property parcel data layer. Vermont is comprised of 255 municipalities, each with autonomous governance. At the beginning of this project, there were varying levels of parcel data for each municipality ranging from no information at all, other than original deeds and surveys in the municipal records, to having current parcel data maintained in geographic information systems (GIS). The Statewide Property Parcel Mapping Project was a collaborative effort between a series of State Agencies and Departments, municipalities, and contractors to build a standardized statewide parcel data layer.

This webinar will discuss the project from the initial enabling legislation, collaboration with Agencies and Departments, developing parcel standards, parcel data creation through vendors, issues experienced during the project, the Grand List, how this information is being used at VTrans, and transfer of the project to program at the Vermont Center for Geographic Information (VCGI).
