    Article summary

    Introduction

    SmartFabricTM Standard is a foundational parcel dataset inclusive of parcel boundaries and centroids, situs address, owner name and address and land use. It is a dataset that meets the needs of parcel boundaries, address, and owner information.  

    SmartFabric Standard provides insights into  into:

    • Property boundary and property centroid

    • Situs address

    • Current owner name and owner address

    • Land use


    SmartFabric Standard Data Package made up of 2 components: 

    ParcelsWithAssessments

    ParcelsWithAssessments is a polygon layer. The dataset is modeled as stacked parcels, so condos are represented as a set of parcels stacked on top of each other. 

    OrphanAssessments

    OrphanAssessments is a point layer. This layer contains the situs address, owner info and land use represented as a point for any assessments we were unable to match to a parcel. Please see these links for additional information.


    Delivery Format

    • The default delivery option is provided in FGDB (File Geodatabase) format, which includes 4 layers and 6 relationship tables.

      • FGDBs are organized by county or state; however, a national-level FGDB option is not currently available.

    • Optional Delivery Format 1: CSV files

      • CSV files are compressed into ZIP archives and are available by county or state.

    • Optional Delivery Format 2: Parquet files

      • Parquet files are offered at both the national and state levels.

    • All spatial data is stored in WGS 1984 (EPSG: 4362).
