NZ Property Boundaries provides the best available representation of property boundaries in New Zealand.

Three data sources have been combined to create this property boundaries layer:

• Rating Units - These are the main data source, taken from the NZ Properties: Unit of Property layer. This layer uses District Valuation Roll data to identify rateable properties and aggregates all spatialised titles associated with a Rating Unit into a single property.
• Titles - Where there are no spatialised rating units, spatialised titles from the NZ Property Titles layer are included, if they are available.
• Parcels – Where there are no rating units or spatialised titles, parcels from the NZ Primary Parcels layer are used to fill the in the remaining gaps.

NZ Property Boundaries is updated on a weekly basis. For more information please refer to the NZ Property Boundaries Data Dictionary

Please note: NZ Property Boundaries is an interim solution while work continues to develop the NZ Properties: Unit of Property layer. For more information about NZ Properties: Unit of Property, please see the New Zealand Property Spine on the Toitū Te Whenua LINZ website.

APIs and web services This dataset is available via ArcGIS Online and ArcGIS REST services, as well as our standard APIs. LDS APIs and OGC web services ArcGIS Online map services

NOTE: This pilot layer is now deprecated and replaced by the NZ Property Boundaries layer. This pilot layer will be removed on 26 August 2025. Please update any links you have to the link for the new layer.

NZ Property Hybrid (pilot) provides the best available representation of property boundaries in New Zealand.

Three data sources have been combined to create this hybrid property boundaries layer:

• Rating Units - These are the main data source, taken from the NZ Properties: Unit of Property layer. This layer uses District Valuation Roll data to identify rated properties and aggregates spatialised titles and untitled land associated with a Rating Unit into a single property.
• Titles - Where there are no spatialised rating units, spatialised titles from the NZ Property Titles layer are included, if they are available.
• Parcels – Where there are no rating units or spatialised titles, parcels from the NZ Primary Parcels layer are used to fill the in the remaining gaps.

This pilot dataset provides a non-spatial data table linked to the unique Unit of Property ID. The table contains local Territorial Authority (TA) IDs. In future this may change to become a number of tables with potentially other property-related links included.

PLEASE NOTE: This subset dataset is limited to only to properties that are recorded in data provided by Territorial Authorities that have given permission for their District Valuation Roll data to be made public by Toitū Te Whenua Land Information New Zealand. This dataset complements the NZ Properties: National District Valuation Roll Subset dataset. A complete national dataset of the NZ Properties: Perspective table is also available here.

This table forms part of a national set of Connected Property Data conforming to the Property Data Management Framework (PDMF) that will deliver packages of data about properties. This is known as the NZ Property Spine.

Initially, properties represented in the NZ Property Spine will meet the definition of a rating unit as defined by the Rating Valuation Rules 2008 (for the Valuation perspective). Future properties will meet the rules defined for their appropriate perspectives. The Perspective for each property in the Valuation perspective of the NZ Property Spine is listed in this table.

The table contains the fields perspective_type and source_id that allow identification of the type of property, and the source of the property. A property must have one or more perspectives.

The table is updated on a weekly basis.

Related tables Together with the NZ Properties: Property Title Reference Subset and NZ Properties: Unit of Property Subset tables, this dataset will provide a subset of a national spatial representation of property boundaries along with the type and source of the property. Otherwise known as the NZ Property Spine.
