[State Entity Name] Administration Department [Description of Work] Business Plan for Statewide Parcel Data Integration The State of Minnesota has no existing statewide program for acquiring and managing standardized spatial and attribute data for land parcels, despite requirements for those data by a variety of state agencies for business purposes ranging from land management to emergency response. It is widely understood that local governments are the best source for these data, especially where these governments maintain those data using geographical information systems that are integrated with county tax records. However, the availability of digital parcel data varies greatly among Minnesotas 87 counties, as do their policies and practices regarding data distribution, licensing, and cost recovery. Establishing a program to integrate best available parcel data into a statewide database that supports the Minnesota Spatial Data Infrastructure has been an established goal of the State and organizations around the state since the mid-1990s. 1 The purpose of this project is to develop a detailed business plan for acquiring, integrating, managing and providing access to accurate, current and consistent parcel data (both digital spatial and attribute) for the entire State, based on maintained and authoritative county sources. The business plan will include strategies to address the varied circumstances among Minnesotas 87 counties: available data, data formats, technologies, distribution/redistribution and cost recovery policies, liability concerns, etc. This project will focus upon the critical relationship between Minnesotas counties and the State. The business plan will need to emphasize the essential and ongoing role of Minnesota counties as primary producers and maintainers of parcel data. State laws about data access and cost recovery also must be addressed by the plan, which must be specific enough to guide the state and its county partners towards successfully implementing a statewide parcel mapping program.
