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 ORION tax appraisal database. The data are maintained by the MT Department of Revenue, except for Silver Bow, Cascade, Missoula, Lake, Flathead and Yellowstone counties that are maintained by the individual counties. The Revenue and county data are integrated by Montana State Library staff. Each parcel contains an attribute called ParcelID (geocode) that is the parcel identifier. These data are from January, 2013. Large areas of public land in Flathead County are missing from the data. 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. 20130109 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 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. Most data are being maintained by staff of the Montana Department of Revenue (DOR). 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 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 2013 FID shapefile sequence number Shape Feature geometry OBJECTID Sequence number from geodatabase version of the data PARCELID Feature Parcel identifier number (geocode) COUNTYCD county code 1 Silver Bow County 2 Cascade County 3 Yellowstone County 4 Missoula County 5 Lewis and Clark County 6 Gallatin County 7 Flathead County 8 Fergus County 9 Powder River County 10 Carbon County 11 Phillips County 12 Hill County 13 Ravalli County 14 Custer County 15 Lake County 16 Dawson County 17 Roosevelt County 18 Beaverhead County 19 Choteau County 20 Valley County 21 Toole County 22 Big Horn County 23 Musselshell County 24 Blaine County 25 Madison County 26 Pondera County 27 Richland County 28 Powell County 29 Rosebud County 30 Deer Lodge County 31 Teton County 32 Stillwater County 33 Treasure County 34 Sheridan County 35 Sanders County 36 Judith Basin County 37 Daniels County 38 Glacier County 39 Falon County 40 Sweet Grass County 41 McCone County 42 Carter County 43 Broadwater County 44 Wheatland County 45 Prairie County 46 Granite County 47 Meagher County 48 Liberty County 49 Park County 50 Garfield County 51 Jefferson County 52 Wibaux County 53 Golden Valley County 54 Mineral County 55 Petroleum County 56 Lincoln County SHAPE_Leng Length of the parcel perimeter in meters.
