<div dir="ltr">Oh my, that is quite an undertaking!! Just in my little corner of the States (south Mississippi) you're lucky if the county has parcels (or GIS even), and then you're lucky if they will share it with you! Many counties in the area contract their parcel spatial management out to private companies, and then they have to buy it back from them. <div><br></div><div> Most of the counties in my state have at least CAD parcels, but then they pay a third party contractor to convert that into a GIS file. The US Census has the best street and address data of the country, but they share very little because of privacy laws. Hopefully other states have better data (and data management), but the only way I know to access parcels in Mississippi is county by county (which unfortunately I have to do for my job for 15 counties). </div><div><br></div><div>I know there are several counties in the country that have adopted a form of Open Data standards, but still, it's county by county.

The first place I would look for USA parcel data is <a href="http://data.gov" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">data.gov</a>. The portal could be considered as an official gov aggregator of data. Therefore, if a gov agency has it then there you should find it (open or just reference to it).<br>
<br>
Open Knowledge[1] is conducting a worldwide open data census[2]. This year, they introduced land ownership info. I am copy-pasting here what has been submitted by volunteers on US, related to the subject:<br>
<br>
"It does not seem that federal / national government has a database... The Bureau of Land Management has a pretty antiquated website[3] that does not have a great cadastre survey page. There is a company[4] that sells parcel-level data, and a client they note is the government. The state of Montana has a pretty good cadastre map[5] and Oregon[6] something similar but I don’t think there is a national map that has all the aggregated cadastre maps."<br>

Hi,<br>
<br>
(sorry for cross posted and slightly off-topic mail)<br>
<br>
for business purpose, I was asked to find out, where we could get some<br>
parcel data in USA - not necessary for free (assumed, we would like to<br>
start our business with the data, reasonable prise is expected).<br>
<br>
Could anybody point me to agency/private business company, who is<br>
providing such kind of data? Where would you say is the best starting point?<br>
<br>
Thanks for hints<br>
<br>
Jachym<br>
