Land parcel data for all properties in the City of Detroit from the Office of the Assessor. These are the parcel boundaries for the 2024 tax year.The Parcels data set from the City of Detroit Office of the Assessor is updated daily with land parcel data for all properties within the City of Detroit. Records in this data set describe the assessed values, rights, ownership interests, most recent sales data, physical descriptions, and addresses associated with each parcel. Parcels are distinguished from lots or plots of land in that property ownership rights are the fundamental units of division between parcels. The graphic depiction of land parcels represents real property ownership within the City for both privately and publicly owned properties.Data maintenance note: Databases used by the Office of the Assessor for parcels data are checked for updates daily. If an update is detected, the published Parcels dataset is then updated to reflect the most recent data available. Similarly, Zoning data provided by the Buildings, Safety Engineering, and Environmental Department (BSEED) Zoning Division is checked for updates daily. If any updates are available, values in the Zoning field are updated to reflect the most recent zoning data available. The "Data Updated" date for the Parcels dataset reflects the most recent date any data updates were detected and incorporated into the Parcels dataset. The GIS / Land Records Maintenance Division in the Office of the Assessor manages the data integrity of the parcel file.

This data is intended as a reference material of street and alley vacations, but not designed for survey, accurate positioning, or legal documents. It is created as polygon feature class, vacation information based on field measurements, types of Right of Way, and citations of Journal of the Common Council (J.C.C.) and the plat Liber and Page is listed under the column titled 'Sub_Plat'. The paper maps of the Street and Alley Vacation, the raster layer version of those maps (Linen Map Markup Mosaic), and the Detroit parcel layer are used as base maps to create this data.

The street and alley vacations were recorded from 1831 to 2022 throughout the whole city, and it will be updated weekly. The existed and/or active street and alley vacations are ready to view, the authors are working on pending and historical records.

In 2009, Data Driven Detroit partnered with Living Cities, the Detroit Office of Foreclosure Prevention and Response and Community Legal Resources (Michigan Community Resources) to conduct a survey of 1-4 unit residential structures and vacant lots in the City of Detroit. Surveyors went out in the field in August and September of 2009, and following this, data were entered into a database and cleaned. The survey collected information on property type, condition, vacancy, danger to the surrounding community, fire damage, and improvements on vacant lots.For more information on the DRPS, including aggregations and maps of the original data, please visit www.detroitparcelsurvey.org.Upon request, field description metadata is also available for this dataset.

The Detroit Future City Strategic Framework is a land use planning document that was released in 2012. It outlines recommendations for transforming Detroit's land use policies and codes over the next fifty years, and covers a broad range of issues from economic and workforce development to transportation and green infrastructure. The shapes in this file represent the 50-year recommended land use for the City of Detroit, based on this plan. The geographies are based off of dissolved parcels from the City of Detroit Planning and Development Department. Field description metadata is available for download. For detailed descriptions of the land use categories, and to learn more about the Detroit Future City initiative, please visit http://detroitfuturecity.com/framework/.

Data Driven Detroit recieved a copy of the City of Detroit GIS parcel file in May of 2012. Data Driven Detroit was able to find records in the data that did not have corresponding polygons drawn. These missing parcel objects were then geocoded by address to determine an approximate position and give the shape of a smal square as a placeholder. These missing parcels are corrected by the city in subsequent releases of the parcel file.

A vacant building is defined as "a structure that is unoccupied for more than thirty (30) days, unsecured or secured by other than normal means, illegally occupied, or poses an imminent danger to the health and safety of the surrounding residents, properties or the general public." Buildings that meet this definition must be registered with BSEED as Vacant Properties.

Detroit Street View (DSV) is an urban remote sensing program run by the Enterprise Geographic Information Systems (EGIS) Team within the Department of Innovation and Technology at the City of Detroit. The mission of Detroit Street View is ‘To continuously observe and document Detroit’s changing physical environment through remote sensing, resulting in freely available foundational data that empowers effective city operations, informed decision making, awareness, and innovation.’ LiDAR (as well as panoramic imagery) is collected using a vehicle-mounted mobile mapping system.

Due to variations in processing, index lines are not currently available for all existing LiDAR datasets, including all data collected before September 2020. Index lines represent the approximate path of the vehicle within the time extent of the given LiDAR file. The actual geographic extent of the LiDAR point cloud varies dependent on line-of-sight.

Compressed (LAZ format) point cloud files may be requested by emailing gis@detroitmi.gov with a description of the desired geographic area, any specific dates/file names, and an explanation of interest and/or intended use. Requests will be filled at the discretion and availability of the Enterprise GIS Team. Deliverable file size limitations may apply and requestors may be asked to provide their own online location or physical media for transfer.

LiDAR was collected using an uncalibrated Trimble MX2 mobile mapping system. The data is not quality controlled, and no accuracy assessment is provided or implied. Results are known to vary significantly. Users should exercise caution and conduct their own comprehensive suitability assessments before requesting and applying this data.
