Mill Valley, CA ActionMap Solutions announced today the introduction of the National ParcelMap Data Portal. The culmination of four years of preparation, the NPDP includes nearly 30 Million parcels across 120 metropolitan areas. This is the first time a central data warehouse of parcel-level maps is available in one location at a price that everyone can afford.

In addition to centralization, all this content from 100’s of sources has been recompiled to a common “national” spatial data format - universal map projection, naming, color, font and street annotation configuration. As founder, ActionMap Solutions President Dennis Klein said “This common format is critical to the complete convenience needed so that an application that works in one NPDP parcel map works in them all - from Seattle to Florida.” Selected possible uses of NPDP content include:

Selected possible uses of NPDP content include:

  • Real estate investment due diligence.
  • Flood Zone and other hazardous condition due diligence.
  • Development/redevelopment planning: - Retail, hotel, restaurant site selection.
  • Utility mapping / service demand analysis and Wireless Telecom facility sitting.
  • More accurate / detailed address location for location providers and 911.
  • Reverse 911 — warning people near danger.

Each jurisdictional database is available as a single GIS-ready SHP file. Each parcel polygon boundary has an imbedded geocode link to property records. Linked assessor records also available. Most can be used on a “blanket” release agreement while ActionMap Solutions arranges for direct licensing where needed. Delivery on most data is immediate upon order placement and the rest in a matter of days. Content can be ordered as an annual subscription that includes quarterly updates.

Extensive online NPDP description, data coverage and e-commerce information is available at www.actionmap.net. An online Order Form enables selection of metropolitan areas of interest to receive a price quote and terms for nationally enhanced digital parcel map data from over 85% of urban America.
