Albany County, New York, tax parcel boundaries with limited property information.A tax map is a special purpose map, accurately drawn to scale showing all the real property parcels within a city, town or village. These maps are used to locate parcels and obtain other information required in assessment work. The size, shape and dimensions (or acreage) of a parcel may be found on a tax map. Tax maps are primarily used by local governments to maintain a current inventory of all parcels in a city, town or village.Tax parcel boundaries are maintained by the Albany County Real Property Tax Service Agency. Albany County provides the municipalities with digital GIS files on an annual basis. Therefore, all parcel boundary changes may not be reflected in this GIS file, depending on the revision date.Real Property Information, as recorded and managed by the local municipal assessor is updated annually using the final roll taxable status date March 1 by the County and also may not be reflecting the most current information, depending on the information revision date.Data also includes sewer and water data per parcel. This data (sewer and water) is only as accurate as the information entered by the municipality assessors. Sewer and water have three types, Public (3), Private (2), None (1) or No Data (0).

The TIGER/Line shapefiles and related database files (.dbf) are an extract of selected geographic and cartographic information from the U.S. Census Bureau's Master Address File / Topologically Integrated Geographic Encoding and Referencing (MAF/TIGER) Database (MTDB). The MTDB represents a seamless national file with no overlaps or gaps between parts, however, each TIGER/Line shapefile is designed to stand alone as an independent data set, or they can be combined to cover the entire nation. Face refers to the areal (polygon) topological primitives that make up MTDB. A face is bounded by one or more edges; its boundary includes only the edges that separate it from other faces, not any interior edges contained within the area of the face. The Topological Faces Shapefile contains the attributes of each topological primitive face. Each face has a unique topological face identifier (TFID) value. Each face in the shapefile includes the key geographic area codes for all geographic areas for which the Census Bureau tabulates data for both the 2020 Census and the annual estimates and surveys. The geometries of each of these geographic areas can then be built by dissolving the face geometries on the appropriate key geographic area codes in the Topological Faces Shapefile.

This data, indicating the sewer class for Mohawk River Watershed tax parcels, was collected by Stone Environmental, Inc. for the New York State Department of State with funds provided under Title 11 of the Environmental Protection Fund. Data are meant for watershed planning purposes only. Mohawk River Watershed Coalition of Conservation Districts does not take responsibility for the overall content and/or spatial accuracy of the tax parcel data available for download on this page.You should always verify actual map data and information. The limitations and accuracy level of the data should be accounted for before using them in any analyses and their validity cannot be guaranteed.Parcel boundary data was acquired by county offices. Individual County and Town files were compiled to create a seamless coverage of Tax Parcels. Areas of overlap were eliminated by clipping to adjacent county boundaries. Attribute information of interest, property class code, residential development from 1945 to present (year built), sewer service code, and water service codes were obtained from the New York Office of Real Property Services (ORPS, accessed in November 2011). Parcel boundaries and attribute information from ORPS were joined based on the municipality code and print key.Source Information:Albany: Albany County Real Property Tax Services. 2010 Albany County, NY parcel boundaries derived from AutoCAD MAP 3D tax maps; Delaware: Delaware County Planning Department.

The All Roads Shapefile includes all features within the MTDB Super Class "Road/Path Features" distinguished where the MAF/TIGER Feature Classification Code (MTFCC) for the feature in MTDB that begins with "S". This includes all primary, secondary, local neighborhood, and rural roads, city streets, vehicular trails (4wd), ramps, service drives, alleys, parking lot roads, private roads for service vehicles (logging, oil fields, ranches, etc.), bike paths or trails, bridle/horse paths, walkways/pedestrian trails, stairways, and winter trails.

In an urban setting, parks are created and allocated to serve a broad range of public needs. Accessible green space is an essential way to improve quality of life—providing opportunities from active healthy living to environmental resiliency. Parks strengthen our families and our Neighborhoods, and are designed to creatively bring us together as a community. While parks and green space, as a whole, are appreciated for recreation, open space offers other types of opportunities, such as designed sustainable initiatives, improving the local watershed, expanding green technology or transportation alternatives.A green space inventory, in part with the Albany 2030 Comprehensive Plan, was conducted to identify areas where the community has access to outdoor areas within a quarter-mile (or 15-minute) walking radius. Therefore this GIS inventory does not just include official City-managed parks, but combines lists and observances where other accessible open space exists (such as, pocket parks, community gardens, dog parks, sites of beautification, historic landmarks, road medians, etc.) that offer an opportunity for active recreation, passive enjoyment or sustainability initiatives (i.e., multi-use paths, stormwater management, etc.). The properties are managed jointly by the Department of Recreation and the Department of General Services. The City continues to implement its Park Renovation Plan, a City-funded effort to upgrade play spaces with improved accessibility, playground equipment, and picnic areas for people of all ages and abilities, in compliance with the Americans With Disabilities Act. Albany is 25% green space—almost three times the recommended recreational acres-to-person ratio, according to the National Recreation & Park Association. This list of open space continues to grow and change along with recreational opportunities, maintenance support, funding sources, and community needs.
Resources City Departments work in collaboration to help support and facilitate green space needs and improvements throughout the City.
