The purpose of the�Natural Resources Atlas�is to provide geographic information about environmental features and sites that the Vermont Agency of Natural Resources manages, monitors, permits, or regulates. In addition to standard map navigation tools, this site allows you to link from sites to documents where available, generate reports, export search results, import data, search, measure, mark-up, query map features, and print PDF maps.

THIS LAYER IS CURRENTLY BETA.This dataset provides approximate point locations and associated public information collected by the Department of Taxes under 32 V.S.A. § 9606 for all property transferred by deed in Vermont beginning in January 2019 through present. The layer is updated weekly. In addition to the data fields provided by the Department of Taxes, VCGI has added the latitude, longitude, standardized town name (based on the townCode), town GEOID, and Match Method (see below). Questions about property transfer data can be directed to the Department of Taxes at tax.rett@vermont.gov.Multiple methods are used to geocode property locations, indicated in the 'MatchMethod' field and prioritized in the following order:Geocoded using the VCGI ESITE Geocoder with the property street and city. MatchMethod = Property Address (ESITE). If unmatched:Match on SPAN in the E911 Site Locations layer; geocode using the location of the ESITE. MatchMethod = SPAN (ESITE). If unmatched:Geocode using the VCGI Composite Geocoder with the property street and city. MatchMethod = Property Address (Composite). If unmatched:Match on the SPAN in the Standardized Parcel Data layer; geocode based on a point located within the parcel polygon. While the point will fall within the correct parcel it may still be distant from the actual property, particularly in large parcels, and is less precise than the methods above. MatchMethod = SPAN (Parcel centroid).Locations are approximate, and those geocoded using the Property Address (Composite) and SPAN (Parcel centroid) methods in particular are less precise. Records that could not be geocoded using the above methods, often because of an incomplete, missing, or otherwise invalid SPAN and/or property address, are retained in the table but do not include geometry or coordinates. For these records, MatchMethod = Unmatched.Data download limitationVCGI recommends the use of feature services and geodatabase downloads when possible. Please note that if downloading the data as a shapefile the entries in the following fields may be truncated due to character limits:prTxExDesc (property tax exemption as described under32 V.S.A. § 9603)LGTExDesc (land gain exemption description)addSellNam (additional seller names from PTT175)addSellLoc (additional seller locations from PTT175)addBuyrNam (additional buyer names from PTT175)addBuyrLoc (additional buyer locations from PTT175)

The State of Vermont has a long history of acquiring properties for conservation and recreation purposes. Since the first official state forest (L.R. Jones State Forest) was acquired in 1909, the State has acquired over 345,000 acres of land in more than 200 towns across the state. In addition, the Agency has recently acquired conservation easements on over 44,000 acres of privately-owned forest land. These diverse holdings are managed by the Agency of Natural Resources and include state parks, state forests, wildlife management areas, and fishing access areas, pond sites, streambanks, fish culture stations, dams, and other miscellaneous properties.

This shapefile contains the zoning district boundaries for the Town of Newfane, Vt., and is to be used in conjunction with other GIS data for mapping. Most of these boundaries coincide with either existing parcel lines or with roads and streams. In this shapefile, the district boundaries were made to coincide with GIS representations of roads and streams where the proposed zoning district boundaries coincide with such features, but not parcel lines. No GIS parcel data for Newfane existed at the time of this shapefile was created, so scans of paper tax maps developed on an unrectified photo base were used. The zoning district boundaries that coincide with parcel boundaries are only approximate. The zoning district boundaries, where they coincide with roads or streams are accurate to the acccuracy of the GIS data representation of those features, but where district boundaries coincide with parcel boundaries, the district boundaries will likely be off by 200 to 500 feet, or more in some areas. As such, these data should be used only in map form to give a general overally impression of the zoning district boundaries for the Town of Newfane, but cannot be used to determine actual zoning district boundaries in any locations other than where these districts coincide with roads or streams. The shapefile Newfane\zoning_prop_taxmap.shp has been created to show the relationship with zoning district boundaries and parcel lines as represented on a series of scanned tax map images. For a more accurate depiction of the Village zoning districts (Newfane, South Newfane, and Williamsville) in relation to the scanned tax map images, see the shapefile Newfane\zoning_prop_village.shp.Data were created in September 2008 but are current to the most recent zoning bylaw amendment of February 19, 2015.
