Boundary Solutions Inc. assembled the most extensive database of parcel map data available from jurisdictions throughout the United States. Terms and conditions for its acquisition, use and updates are in place for 85% of the nation’s major metros; 65 million parcels. All content is normalized, regardless of source format, to a single national spatial configuration so that an application that works in Seattle also works in St. Pete. In September 2003, the US Patent Office published BSI’s U.S. Patent Application #20030140064 for a National Online ParcelMap Data Portal (NPDP). This patent includes the establishment of an online national parcel map data server that enables its users to operate parcel GIS data models as well as an API that helps simplify using the data and creating applications.
