The parcels contain selected information such as owner names, property and owner addresses, assessed value, agricultural use, and tax district information that were copied from the Montana Department of Revenue's Computer Aided Mass Appraisal (CAMA) database. These data are from October, or possibly December, 2003. Large areas of public land are missing from the data, and significant areas of private land are missing from Lincoln, Granite, Jefferson, Gallatin, and Madison counties, along with smaller areas of Sanders, Broadwater, Park, Sweet Grass, Stillwater, Carbon, and Beaverhead counties. The parcel boundaries were aligned to fit with the Bureau of Land Management Geographic Coordinate Database (GCDB) of public land survey coordinates. Parcels whose legal descriptions consisted of aliquot parts of the public land survey system were created from the GCDB coordinates by selecting and, when necessary, subdividing public land survey entities. Other parcels were digitized from paper maps and the data from each map were transformed to fit with the appropriate GCDB boundaries. Each parcel has an attribute called ParcelID which is the geocode field from the Montana Department of Revenue Computer Assisted Mass Appraisal (CAMA) tax database. The CAMA information is considered reliable for private, taxable parcels, but less reliable for public and tax-exempt parcels, whose owners do not receive tax bills. 20031222 publication date -116.151645 -103.613305 49.162240 44.258520 ISO 19115 Topic Category planningCadastre cadastral parcels tax lots land ownership property CAMA Montana None State law (Montana Code Annotated 2-6-109 (1)) prohibits anyone from using a list of persons prepared by a state agency as a mailing list without first securing the permission of those on the list.

Helena Montana 59620-1800 406-444-5354 Montana Relay 711 406-444-0266 geoinfo@mt.gov The data were created by the GIS Bureau of the Montana Department of Administration. This bureau later became known as the Base Map Service Center and eventually became part of the Montana State Library. Creation of the data was made possible by a public/private partnership including the U.S. Bureau of Land Management, several state agencies, local governments, The Montana Power Company, Montana/Dakota Utilities, and Burlington Northern Sante Fe Railroad The accuracy of the boundary coordinates is variable. Some coordinates were known to be more than 30 meters from their correct locations. This is the process used in most counties. Some counties had existing data and different processes were followed. Contact Missoula, Yellowstone, Butte-Silver Bow, Gallatin, Ravalli, Lake or Cascade for information on the processes used by those counties. A small percentage of Montana's are subdivided, leaving a large percentage of land in aliquot parts. Because aliquot parts are a mathematical subdivision of larger parcels into smaller equally-sized smaller parcels it is possible to possible to create ownership parcels in an automated manner, if the supporting data exists. Two pieces of information are required create aliquot part parcels: 1) legal land descriptions defining the aliquot parts to plot and 2) framework of coordinates defining the public land survey. Both pieces of information exist, for most of the State of Montana, in a digital format. These existing databases are the Montana Department of Revenue Computer Assisted Mass Appraisal System (CAMA) database and the U.S. Bureau of Land Management Geographic Coordinate Data Base (GCDB). CAMA is a database of all taxable (and some tax-exempt) lands in the State of Montana. It has four 30-character text fields for legal land descriptions of property. The GCDB holds locational information (x/y coordinates) of all section, quarter section, and quarter-quarter section corners, by township. Integrating the above two databases to produce digital land ownership parcels requires custom written software. This suite of programs, called the Montana Automated Parcel Program (MAPP), is the backbone of the Project. Vendors on contract with the cadastral project filled in unmapped areas, or 'holes', which remain in a township after running MAPP. These 'holes' are filled after field research at county courthouses which yields information about deeds, certificates of survey, and paper maps. Vendors also use a file generated by MAPP listing all parcels from the CAMA database not mapped during the automated process. General Process: -- Download GCDB -- Download DOR CAMA file -- Process aliquot parts using MAPP software -- Proof maps -- Identify missing parcels -- Send missing parcels to vendor -- Vendor researchs missing parcels -- Vendor converts missing parcels -- qa/qc -- database checked for consistancy -- identify unresolved parcels -- if under 5% all parcels to convert vendor work done -- DOR researched unresolved parcels -- DOR or GIS Bureau converts remaining unresolved parcels Stewart Kirkpatrick Montana GIS Bureau GIS Coordinator NAD 1983 StatePlane Montana FIPS 2500 45.0 49.0 -109.5 44.25 600000.0 0.0 meter D North American 1983 GRS 1980 6378137.0 298.257222101 Montana Cadastral Framework 2003 FID shapefile sequence number Shape Feature geometry OBJECTID Sequence number from geodatabase version of the data AREA Area of the parcel in square meters PARCELID Montana Department of Revenue 17-digit parcel identifier OWNCLSCD Owner Class Code These codes are mostly associated with the values of the OWNCLASS field as listed below, but there are a number of values that are not associated with an explanation and are not contained in later versions of the database.
