Title
Government-Owned Lands, Derived from Opt-In Open Data Counties [Minnesota]
Description
This dataset is a subset of the statewide parcel dataset. The parcels in this dataset have been assigned a Government Ownership classification using the values "Federal", "State", "County Fee", "Tax Forfeit", or "Tribal" where it can be inferred from other fields in the parcel record. Only parcels from counties that have opted-in to sharing parcel data are included in this dataset. For more information about the opt-in open parcel dataset, please refer to the opt-in open parcel compilation. https://gisdata.mn.gov/dataset/plan-parcels-open. The State of Minnesota makes no representation or warranties, express or implied, with respect to the use or reuse of data provided herewith, regardless of its format or the means of its transmission. THE DATA IS PROVIDED “AS IS” WITH NO GUARANTEE OR REPRESENTATION ABOUT THE ACCURACY, CURRENCY, SUITABILITY, PERFORMANCE, MECHANTABILITY, RELIABILITY OR FITINESS OF THIS DATA FOR ANY PARTICULAR PURPOSE. <b> This dataset is NOT suitable for accurate boundary determination. Contact a licensed land surveyor if you have questions about boundary determinations.</b>, Parcel data has been identified as a foundational data layer for Minnesota and provides benefits for many operational uses. This dataset enables users to visualize the government owned parcels within each opt-in open county. It provides a best-effort inference of government ownership based on attributes provided by counties (often owner name, taxpayer name, or use class) where the ownership was not directly provided. This dataset was developed to enable geospatial professionals to perform statewide geospatial analysis, research, and mapping. For instance, knowing where government units have land holdings will help with coordinating land management and conservation efforts across Minnesota. The dataset provides a subset of the parcels from opt-in, open data counties, in a common coordinate system. Users can join this dataset to the open parcel dataset using the objectid field to access parcel attributes in the standard GAC schema. , The authoritative export date for a given record is in the exp_date field of the main plan_parcels_open table, although not all counties provide this data and, if this is the case, MnGeo does not populate it. Please join this dataset to plan_parcels_open, linked below, using the objectid field.
