Hello all, I mentioned a few months back that there are several places, particularly fere in the midwest, that don't own their own parcel data. Here in the St Louis area many of the counties have actually leased their parcel data from a private company for decades. The yearly lease includes an exhorbitant fee and licensing restrictions that are very specific on who they can share the parcel data with. What a crazy business model! The St Louis are might be a parcel map "Black Hole" for your project. I have to imagine there are other areas in the same situation.
