Type Geodatabase Feature Class
For display of parcel boundaries on maps, as a general reference for the locations of parcels. It should not be used to determine the actual locations of parcel boundaries.
Vermont GIS Parcel Data (dataset name = CadastralParcels_VTPARCELS) is published as of a set of three data layers. It includes standardized statewide parcel data--with joined Grand List data--for Vermont municipalities; an intermediary intersection table and data layer are used to facilitate the join. Data is compiled from multiple sources by Vermont Center for Geographic Information. [Information on Statewide Property Parcel Mapping Program] [Full metadata, including field descriptions]
Published Layers:
Statewide Standardized Parcel Data - parcel polygons:
(feature class name = Cadastral_VTPARCELS_poly_standardized_parcels)
Active parcels (including unlanded buildings)--with joined Grand List data, public right-of-ways, trail right-of-ways (for trails identified on the VTrans General Highway Maps, AKA Town Highway Maps), and surface water areas that serve as property boundaries.
This layer is a product of joining Grand List data to active parcels. It is a value-added layer with a schema that is based on Vermont GIS Parcel Data Standard 2.3 and the Grand List schema.
For scenarios where a one-to-many relationship exists between land and Grand List records--e.g., land with unlanded buildings, this layer includes an individual polygon for each related Grand List record; such scenarios create a stacked-polygon effect. For example, when an identify tool is applied to a location that has fifteen mobile homes on a land parcel, sixteen identical polygons can be returned--one for the land-surface Grand List record and fifteen for each of the mobile-home Grand List records.
Statewide Standardized Parcel Data - inactive parcel polygons:
(feature class name = Cadastral_VTPARCELS_poly_standardized_inactive)
Inactive parcels and their related active parcels. Schema is based on Vermont GIS Parcel Data Standard 2.3.
Statewide Standardized Parcel Data - Data Status polygons:
(feature class name = Cadastral_VTPARCELS_poly_DataStatus)
Status of parcel data by municipality.
Intermediary Intersection Table and Data Layer:
TABLE_VTPARCELS_intersection:
An intersection table that relates records of the Grand List which have active SPAN numbers to records in the Cadastral_VTPARCELS_poly_standardized_parcels feature class which represent parcel features (PROPTYPE = ‘PARCEL’). Supports bi-directional matching/reconciliation between the Grand List and the parcels feature class.
Schema is based on Vermont GIS Parcel Data Standard 2.3.
Cadastral_VTPARCELS_poly_standardized_NONJOINED_parcels:
Geometry and GIS-attribute base of Cadastral_VTPARCELS_poly_standardized_parcels, without Grand-List join. Schema is based on Vermont GIS Parcel Data Standard 2.3.

First load of individual standardized municipality-based parcel data-sets (where available). The first load that includes parcel-data via Statewide Property Parcel Mapping Program.
Catalogued data sets as statewide layers in Vermont Open Geodata Portal.
Implemented automation that joins Grand List data to Cadastral_VTPARCELS_poly_standardized_parcels feature class.
For internal processes, added NON-Grand-List-joined standardized-parcels feature-class named Cadastral_VTPARCELS_poly_standardized_NONJOINED_parcels.
Conducted minor schema changes to some Grand-List info fields of Cadastral_VTPARCELS_poly_standardized_parcels feature-class; some fields were changed from Double type to Integer type and 2 fields were added. This schema change slightly changed the field order.
Removed and archived line features of feature-class Cadastral_VTPARCELS_line_standardized_parcels--as lines aren't maintained in statewide dataset. Retained schema of the feature class (empty).
Added fields to feature-class Cadastral_VTPARCELS_poly_DataStatus.

Active parcels (including unlanded buildings)--with joined Grand List data, public right-of-ways, trail right-of-ways (for trails identified on the VTrans General Highway Maps, AKA Town Highway Maps), and surface water areas that serve as property boundaries. NOTE- This layer is a product of joining Grand List data to active parcels. It is a value-added layer with a schema that is based on--not exactly on accord with--Vermont GIS Parcel Data Standard 2.3. For scenarios where a 1-to-many relationship exists between land and Grand List records--e.g., land with unlanded buildings, this layer includes an individual polygon for each related Grand List record. These scenarios create a stacked-polygon effect. For example, when an identify tool is applied to a location that has 15 mobile homes on a land parcel, 16 identical polygons can be returned--1 for the land-surface Grand List record and 15 for each of the mobile-home Grand List records.
