Where the data comes from

Property records and tax maps in Northeastern Connecticut Planning Region

Most people who look up Northeastern Connecticut Planning Region GIS data are after parcel-level records: who owns a property, what it last sold for, and what it is assessed at. Those records are kept locally, not federally, so they are not part of this map. Northeastern Connecticut Planning Region property and tax map data lives with the county's own records office, and what that office is called varies by state — Texas counties run an appraisal district (usually searched as a “CAD”), Kentucky uses a Property Valuation Administrator (PVA), and most other states use a county assessor, auditor or tax office. Start with that office for a deed, a tax map number or a parcel boundary; use the map above for flood zones, elevation and land cover on the same land.
