This 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. 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. The PID field contains the property ID number for each parcel.Link to Attribute Table Information: http://gis.hennepin.us/OpenData/Metadata/County%20Tax%20Parcels.pdf

© 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.

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.

The Minneapolis Assessor's Office tracks and records every real property transaction in the city. This is public information. Attributes included in the dataset: CRV - Certificate of Real Estate Value number. A unique identifier given to every certificate of real estate value. PIN - the 13-digit tax ID that uniquely identifies a taxable parcel. Sale_Date - the date of the sale. InRTOStudy - yes or no depending on whether the sale was used for the Minnesota Department of Revenue Sales Ratio Study. Only sales that are considered fair market value sales are included. Neighborhood - the name of the neighborhood the property is in. Ward - the number of the ward that the property is in. Address - the street address of the property. Grantee - the buyer name. Grantor - the seller name. Adjusted_Sale_Price - the sale price after accounting for seller-paid adjustments. Gross_Sale_Price - the unadjusted sale price. Downpayment - the dollar value of the initial downpayment X - the X coordinate of the parcel centroid of the sold property Y - the Y coordinate of the parcel centroid of the sold property

The coordinates are expressed in the NAD 83 Hennepin County HARN coordinate system (WKID: 103734)

This data was compiled by the Mapping Prejudice Project and shows the location of racial covenants recorded in Hennepin County between 1910 and 1955. Racial covenants were legal clauses embedded in property records that restricted ownership and occupancy of land parcels based on race. These covenants dramatically reshaped the demographic landscape of Hennepin County in the first half of the twentieth century. In 1948, the United States Supreme Court ruled racial covenants to be legally unenforceable in the Shelly v. Kraemer decision. Racial covenants continued to be inserted into property records, however, prompting the Minnesota state legislature to outlaw the recording of new racial covenants in 1953. The same legislative body made covenants illegal in 1962. The practice was formally ended nationally with the passage of the Fair Housing Act in 1968.
