The MCAD Tax Parcel Point View was updated in early 2024 to streamline the data schema and improve data accuracy. Instead of including a centroid for every parcel in the county (~300,000 parcels), the updated point layer now only includes parcels with anomalies that may impact mapping or other GIS products. The following types of anomalies qualify a parcel to be included in this view:Multiple Owners: Parcels with more than three listed owners.Example: Parcel at 2827 Waterbend Cove, Spring, TX, with 6 listed owners.Disconnected or Multi-part Parcels: Parcels that are split into multiple parts (more than one polygon).Example: Parcel 51296, which is split into 3 separate parts.Because the point layer is focused on these special cases, the record count for the Tax Parcel Point View has decreased significantly after the May 2024 update. For a complete view of all parcels, users are encouraged to refer to the MCAD Tax Parcel View dataset, which includes all parcels in Montgomery County.Data Includes:Flagged Parcels: Geographic points representing parcels with anomalies (multiple owners, disconnected parcels, multi-part parcels).Anomaly Types: Data on parcels with specific anomalies such as multiple owners or multiple parts.Data Source:The data is maintained and provided by the Montgomery Central Appraisal District (MCAD).Access:The view is available through Montgomery County’s Open Data Portal and can be accessed for public use.Update Frequency:The data is updated monthly, especially after changes to MCAD’s appraisal processes or data schema.
