2020 Parcel Snapshot

The state publishes a yearly parcels snapshot.

This project has the same goal, but rather than a one time snapshot this app will give you the freshest parcel data everytime it's run.

Roadmap 2023

  • Use GDAL's ogr2ogr to merge all of these shapefiles into a single file.
  • Use tippecanoe to create a vector tileset from this parcel data.
  • Use Protomaps to create a static tileset and display it in a map on the github pages site for this repo.
