DCGIS is an interactive map that provides increased functionality for advanced users as well as access to about 150 layers of GIS data, including parcel information, contour lines, aerial photography, county park amenities, park trails, bikeways, county road construction, roundabouts, floodplains and more. It allows you to create a map at any scale you wish.
The Interactive GIS Map is intended for use on any device - mobile or desktop - with high speed access.

Easy to navigate and search for property information. Features a large map area and a printable property card. It also includes additional map features such as streets, lakes and parks.

This dataset is a compilation of tax parcel information for Dakota County, MNThe layer contains one record for each real estate/tax parcel polygon within the county. Condominiums are not included in the polygon layer. If condominiums are desired, use the tax parcel point layer in combination with this polygon layer.In many places a one-to-one relationship does not exist between these parcel polygons and the actual buildings or occupancy units that lie within them. There may be many buildings on one parcel and there may be many occupancy units (e.g. apartments, stores or offices) within each building. Additionally, no information exists within this dataset about residents of parcels. Currently, only tax parcel ownership (and taxpayer information) is displayed for this dataset.

County Geologic Atlases (CGAs) are prepared jointly by the Minnesota Geological Survey (MGS) and the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources (DNR). Part A of each county atlas is completed by the MGS and provides a detailed account of geologic materials in the county. Part B of each county atlas is completed by the Minnesota DNR and shows groundwater and hydrology information. The CGA provides information essential to sustainable management of groundwater resources for applications such as monitoring, water allocation, permitting, remediation, and well construction. The maps and GIS data define aquifer properties and boundaries, as well as the connection of aquifers to the land surface and to the surface-water resources. It also provides a broad range of information on county geology, mineral resources (including construction materials), and natural history.

The Advanced Address Locator for Dakota County is an ArcGIS for Server REST composite locator made up of 18 locators accessing four data layers(Dakota County Address Points, Streets, Parcel Points and NCompass Streets). Each locator has been assigned a unique name, and organized in a method to establish a hierarchy. Address data, which is our most comprehensive source of addresses, is at the top of the hierarchy, followed by parcel data, and street data. The hierarchy will allow the user to assess the level of accuracy and perform a detailed analysis of the results if desired. Data for locators are updated weekly.

This dataset includes all 7 metro counties that have made their parcel data freely available without a license or fees.

This dataset is a compilation of tax parcel polygon and point layers assembled into a common coordinate system from Twin Cities, Minnesota metropolitan area counties. No attempt has been made to edgematch or rubbersheet between counties. A standard set of attribute fields is included for each county. The attributes are the same for the polygon and points layers. Not all attributes are populated for all counties.

NOTICE: The standard set of attributes changed to the MN Parcel Data Transfer Standard on 1/1/2019.
https://www.mngeo.state.mn.us/committee/standards/parcel_attrib/parcel_attrib.html

See section 5 of the metadata for an attribute summary.

Detailed information about the attributes can be found in the Metro Regional Parcel Attributes document.

The polygon layer contains one record for each real estate/tax parcel polygon within each county's parcel dataset. Some counties have polygons for each individual condominium, and others do not. (See Completeness in Section 2 of the metadata for more information.) The points layer includes the same attribute fields as the polygon dataset. The points are intended to provide information in situations where multiple tax parcels are represented by a single polygon. One primary example of this is the condominium, though some counties stacked polygons for condos. Condominiums, by definition, are legally owned as individual, taxed real estate units. Records for condominiums may not show up in the polygon dataset. The points for the point dataset often will be randomly placed or stacked within the parcel polygon with which they are associated.

The polygon layer is broken into individual county shape files. The points layer is provided as both individual county files and as one file for the entire metro area.

In many places a one-to-one relationship does not exist between these parcel polygons or points and the actual buildings or occupancy units that lie within them. There may be many buildings on one parcel and there may be many occupancy units (e.g. apartments, stores or offices) within each building. Additionally, no information exists within this dataset about residents of parcels. Parcel owner and taxpayer information exists for many, but not all counties.

This is a MetroGIS Regionally Endorsed dataset.

Additional information may be available from each county at the links listed below. Also, any questions or comments about suspected errors or omissions in this dataset can be addressed to the contact person at each individual county.

This dataset was created by a joint collaborative project involving the technical and managerial GIS staff from the ten Metropolitan Counties of the Twin Cities in Minnesota (Anoka, Carver, Chisago, Dakota, Hennepin, Isanti, Ramsey, Scott, Sherburne and Washington), the Metropolitan Emergency Services Board (MESB), MetroGIS and the Metropolitan Council. Core needs this dataset are intended to satisfy include:

- Vehicular routing;
- Address geocoding;
- Next Generation 911 call routing and location validation;
- Emergency services dispatching;
- Linear referencing uses;
- Cartographic representation of road features;

This dataset is a compilation of address point data from metro area address authorities, which are predominantly cities. The dataset is intended to contain a point location and the official address (as defined by the address authority) for all occupiable units and any other official addresses within the jurisdictional boundary of each address authority. A number of other attributes are available in the dataset, but may not be populated by some address authorities.

Metro area counties are playing a coordinative role to work with cities to create, maintain and aggregate address points. Currently this dataset contains points for all Seven Metropolitan Counties as well as participating bordering counties.

Some jurisdictions in this dataset contain parcel points and not complete address points. See Completeness in Section 2 of this metadata for more information.

The data used in this aggregated dataset are compliant with the Address Point Data Standard for Minnesota. http://www.mngeo.state.mn.us/committee/standards/address/address_standard.html

This map includes three-dimensional models that show the distribution of the Quaternary sand and gravel deposits that are potential aquifers in Dakota County, Minnesota. Geologists interpreted the three-dimensional models and related sand and gravel deposits to the glacial events that formed them. Although the models and interpretations are based on the best available data, they are unavoidably incomplete due to a lack of data in some areas.
