HISTORICAL SNAPSHOTS OF VERMONT PARCEL DATA
This repository contains historical snapshots of Vermont standardized (conforms to VT GIS Parcel Data Standard) parcel data. [Link to Most-Recent (Non-Historical) Data]
Two snapshots are retained from each calendar year—generally one from the spring and one from the fall.
Snapshots are bundled into .zip files and have this naming pattern:
SNAPSHOT_VTPARCELS_<YYYYMMDD>.zip
YYYYMMDD represents the date on which the snapshot is taken. Within the data, the year of the GIS (spatial) data varies by municipality; and, where the data includes a join of Grand List data, that Grand List data is from a certain Grand List year (which may not be the same as the GIS year).
For example, SNAPSHOT_VTPARCELS_20221010.zip is a snapshot from October 10, 2022. Its feature-class named Cadastral_VTPARCELS_poly_standardized_parcels includes data joined from the 2021 Grand List.
Snapshots are in Esri file-geodatabase format. They have contemporaneous intrinsic metadata. [See HOW TO READ A FILE GEODATABASE IN QGIS DESKTOP below.]
