This parcels data set is a spatial representation of municipal tax lots for Monmouth County, New Jersey that have been extracted from the NJ statewide parcels composite by the NJ Office of Information Technology, Office of GIS (NJOGIS). Parcels at county boundaries have been modified to correspond with the NJ county boundaries and the parcels in adjacent counties.Each parcel contains a field named PAMS_PIN based on a concatenation of the county/municipality code, block number, lot number and qualification code. Using the PAMS_PIN, the dataset can be joined to the MOD-IV database table that contains supplementary attribute information regarding lot ownership and characteristics. Due to irregularities in the data development process, duplicate PAMS_PIN values exist in the parcel records. Users should avoid joining MOD-IV database table records to all parcel records with duplicate PAMS_PINs because of uncertainty regarding whether the MOD-IV records will join to the correct parcel records. There are also parcel records with unique PAMS_PIN values for which there are no corresponding records in the MOD-IV database tables. This is mostly due to the way data are organized in the MOD-IV database.The polygons delineated in this data set do not represent legal boundaries and should not be used to provide a legal determination of land ownership.The MOD-IV system provides for the uniform preparation, maintenance, presentation and storage of property tax information required by the Constitution of the State of New Jersey, New Jersey Statutes and rules promulgated by the Director of the Division of Taxation. MOD-IV maintains and updates all assessment records, and produces all statutorily required tax lists for property tax bills. This list accounts for all parcels of real property as delineated and identified on each municipality's official Tax Map, as well as taxable values and descriptive data for each parcel. Tax List records were received as raw data from the TaxationTeam of NJOIT which collected source information from municipal tax assessors and created the statewide table. This table was subsequently processed for ease of use with NJ tax parcel spatial data and split into an individual table for each county.***NOTE*** For users who incorporate NJOGIS services into web maps and/or web applications, please sign up for the NJ Geospatial Forum discussion listserv for early notification of service changes.

This countywide composite of parcels (cadastral) data for Monmouth County represents digitized property boundaries that were developed from best available local and municipal tax maps data. The normalized parcels data are compatible with the New Jersey Department of Treasury MOD-IV system currently used by tax assessors. Stewardship and maintenance of the data continue under the purview of the Monmouth County GIS Office as well as local municipal tax authorities. Parcel attributes were normalized to a standard structure, specified in the New Jersey GIS Parcel Mapping Standard, to store parcel information and provide a PIN (parcel identification number) field common to the PIN that was to be stored in the PAMS (Property Assessment Management System) database to replace the MOD-IV database. Please note that this parcel dataset is not intended for use as tax maps nor for legal purposes. The dataset is intended to provide reasonable representations of parcel boundaries primarily for planning purposes and cartographic representation. Please note cautions when performing a join with this dataset and MOD-IV property records, specifically regarding duplicate and erroneous records. All records may not be provided for in the parcels data or MOD-IV (Tax List Search) tables because of how the data and tables are constructed, or for temporal mismatches. MOD-IV provides for the uniform preparation, maintenance, presentation and storage of property tax information required by the Constitution of the State of New Jersey, New Jersey Statutes and rules promulgated by the Director of Taxation. MOD-IV maintains and updates all assessment records, and produces all statutorily required tax lists. These lists account for all parcels of real property as delineated and identified on each municipality's official tax map, as well as taxable values and descriptive data for each parcel.

We collected open and publicly available data resources from the web from administrative, county- or state-level institutions in the United States and integrated and harmonized cadastral parcel data, tax assessment data, and building footprint data for 33 counties, where building footprint data and building construction year information was available. The result of this effort is a unique dataset which we call the Multi-Temporal Building Footprint Dataset for 33 U.S. Counties (MTBF-33). MTBF-33 contains over 6.2 million building footprints including their construction year, and is available in ESRI Shapefile format (Spatial reference system: SR-ORG:7480), organized per county. We compared the MTBF-33 dataset quantitatively to other building footprint data sources, achieving an overall F-1 score of 0.93. Moreover, we compared the MTBF-33 dataset qualitatively to urban extents from historical maps and find high levels of agreement. The MTBF-33 dataset can be used to support historical building stock assessments, to derive retrospective depictions of built-up areas from 1900 to 2015, at fine spatial and temporal grain and can be used for data validation purposes, or to train statistical learning approaches aiming to extract historical information on human settlements from remote sensing data, historical maps, or similar data sources.

Parcels data serve as a framework layer from which other data layers can be developed. Parcels were developed for cartography, analysis and distribution to county agencies, municipalities, and the general GIS Community.Although this data set does not contain property assessment information, each parcel record contains an attribute called the PAMS_PIN (a concatenation of the New Jersey Division of Taxation county/muncipality code, block number, lot number and qualification code) that uniquely identifies the parcel. The PAMS_PIN field can be used to join the data set to MOD-IV database tables maintained by the New Jersey Division of Taxation that contain supplementary attribute information regarding lot ownership and characteristics.This data set may not represent all current parcels because of lag in information flow and data development.Contact: Eric Anderson;Monmouth County, New Jersey, GIS Division, Information Technology Services;(732) 431-7991 ext. 2194; eanderso@co.monmouth.nj.us.

The High Water Mark (HWM) Initiative is a component of the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) aimed to increase local communities’ awareness of flood risk and encourage risk mitigation actions. The HWM Initiative uses signs on public and private property to show the high water mark from past flooding events, like Hurricane Irene in 2011 and Superstorm Sandy in 2012. The Monmouth County, NJ Division of Planning began working with the County Community Rating System (CRS) Assistance Program to compile data on the location of high water marks throughout the county resulting from Hurricane Irene in 2011 and Superstorm Sandy in 2012. The High Water Mark Story Map is accessible online where one can find the location of the signs throughout their community, as well as learn about past flooding events. Through this technology, the County and its Municipal partners create virtual tours of our past flooding events bringing awareness and education to all ages.The intention of this Story Map is to support resiliency and risk mitigation throughout Monmouth County municipalities. These efforts are from a joint partnership between Monmouth County Division of Planning, Monmouth County Office of Emergency Management, the Federal Emergency Management Agency’s National Flood Insurance Program, and Monmouth University’s Urban Coast Institute (UCI). The UCI works with Monmouth County and FEMA to provide free land surveying for County municipalities interested in participating in the Monmouth County HWM Initiative.Accessibility updated May 2023.
