The County parcels dataset contains polygons representing individual taxed parcels or individual tax-exempt parcels tracked for taxing purposes. It also contains polygons representing the locations of multiple tax properties (multi-PID parcels). It is the combination of the parcel base dataset and the multiple parcel base dataset with attributes from a monthly extract of the property tax information system. The PID field contains the property ID number for each parcel.In the case of multiple tax properties, several parcel polygons may be stacked on top of one another. These are multiple tax parcels that cannot be delineated on a two-dimensional map, including both taxed and tax-exempt parcels. The parcels are represented with identical geometries but have different parcel IDs and associated tax attributes.For more information about this dataset, please view metadata.

© This dataset is compiled monthly by the Hennepin County GIS Office from parcel geometry that is created and maintained by the Hennepin County Resident and Real Estate Services Survey Division and tax attributes extracted from the Hennepin County Real Estate Services property tax information system.

This data set contains park locations found within Hennepin County. The locations were derived from a variety of data sources including city, county and regional data. The extent of parks is based on information supplied by each park authority or other research methods. Also, amenities were captured to display facilities or activities associated to each park.For more information about this dataset, please view metadata.

The Hennepin County GIS (Geographic Information Systems) open data site offers GIS data to the public free of charge and without need for a license. This site provides the ability to explore, view, share and download data.

This dataset contains Hennepin County owned and leased facility information and locations, including county libraries, service centers, office, medical, and correctional facilities. It contains structures only and does not include any parking lot, ramps, or related properties currently leased or owned by Hennepin County. Additional modification was conducted by the Hennepin County GIS Office.For more information about this dataset, please view metadata.

This dataset contains the planned and existing Hennepin County on and off-street bikeway system as defined by the 2040 Bicycle Transportation Plan. The current Hennepin County and Three rivers Park District bikeway system includes 594 miles of off-street bikeways and 285 miles of on-street bikeways. This dataset includes regional, municipal, state and county bikeways part of the Hennepin County bicycle network (as shown in the Bike Plan) but does not represent all on- and off-street bikeways in Hennepin County. Additionally, this dataset includes pedestrian facilities, and sidewalks located along county roadways.

Filtering the dataset:Many facilities accommodate shared bicycle and pedestrian uses. Use the expressions below to filter the system based on facility type.

To filter the dataset so it shows the entire county bikeway system, use the following expression:FACILITY = ‘Bike’ OR FACILITY = 'Shared'To filter the dataset so it shows the entire county pedestrian system, use the following expression:FACILITY = ‘Sidewalk’ OR FACILITY = 'Shared'To filter the dataset so it shows bike-only facilities, use the following expression:FACILITY = ‘Bike’To filter the dataset so it shows sidewalks or other pedestrian-only facilities, use the following expression:FACILITY = ‘Sidewalk'

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.

Each of the seven Metro Area counties has entered into a multiparty agreement with the Metropolitan Council to assemble and distribute the parcel data for each county as a regional (seven county) parcel dataset.

A standard set of attribute fields is included for each county. The attributes are identical for the point and polygon datasets. Not all attributes fields are populated by each county. Detailed information about the attributes can be found in the MetroGIS Regional Parcels Attributes 2011 document.

This dataset contains the street centerlines of roadways in Hennepin County in the Metro Regional Centerline (MRCC) standard format. It is primarily used for geocoding purposes. The attribute table includes road names and geocoding ranges for each road feature. The associated street alias table can be joined to this dataset using the UNIQUE_ID field and the JOIN_ID field from the alias table. More recently, the dataset has been enhanced to better support routing, including the conversion of single line segments to dual carriageway for divided highways and boulevards and the addition of access ramps. Speed, elevation, and one way attributes are also provided, allowing this dataset to be built into a routable network dataset

Attribute information is defined by the MRCC standard. Information on the standard, including attribute definitions, is available on the MetroGIS MRCC project site. While this dataset includes only Hennepin County roadways, it is intended to align with neighboring counties to provide a standard, multi-purpose regional street centerline dataset. The full regional dataset is available for download from MN Geospatial Commons website.
