Bulk Delivery Formats

Regrid provides data in a variety of formats and configurations. Note the default delivery for bulk files is the "Schema Only" version of the data which does not contain any county specific custom columns.

Parcel Data File Formats

Format	Description
CSV	All available data in CSV format, with double-quoted strings. A parcel centroid is provided in the `lat` and `lon` columns, but the full parcel geometry is not included. This format is often used in cloud based applications. Spreadsheet applications can make use of this format, but will likely encounter cell and row size limits.
CSVWKT	All available data, with full geometries provided as Well-Known Text (WKT) in a column called `wkt`.
File GDB	Esri-specific spatial format.
GeoJSON	Web development and JavaScript focused.
GeoPackage	Open source, QGIS and general interchange format, SQLite based.
KML	Google Earth native format, does not handle typical county dataset sizes very well.
Newline-delimited GeoJSON	Each parcel is represented by a GeoJSON feature. Each feature is on a separate line.
Shapefile	Legacy Esri format. We recommend GeoPackage or FileGDB over Shapefile. The Shapefile format has a maximum data size of 2GB (some clients can read up to 4GB) and will truncate column names.
SQL	Postgresql SQL for loading into Postgresql databases.
Parquet	Commonly used in cloud based workflows, please see our parquet FAQ

Parcel Record Layout Options

Record Layout	Description
Standard Tier	This includes all of the fields listed in our Standard Tier, plus all of the custom columns each county provides. Processing workflows must allow for a variable number of custom columns not in the Regrid schema.
Standard Tier, Schema Only	This includes only the fields listed in our Standard Tier and none of the custom columns each county provides. Processing workflows can rely on a fixed number of fields.
Premium Tier	This includes all of the fields listed in our Premium Tier plus all of the custom columns each county provides. Processing workflows must allow for the variable number custom columns.
Premium Tier, Schema Only	This includes only the fields listed in our Premium Tier and none of the custom columns each county provides. Processing workflows can rely on a fixed number of fields.

Building Polygon Data File Formats

Compressed size of buildings data ranges between 20G - 45G.

Format	Description
CSVWKT	All the available data, full geometry provided as Well Known Text.
File GDB	Esri-specific spatial format.
GeoJSON	Web development and JavaScript focused.
Newline-delimited GeoJSON	Each parcel is represented by a GeoJSON feature. Each feature is on a separate line.
GeoPackage	Open source, QGIS and general interchange format, SQLite based.
Shapefile	Legacy Esri format. We recommend GeoPackage or FileGDB over Shapefile. The Shapefile format has a maximum data size of 2GB (some software can read up to 4GB) and will truncate column names.
SQL	Postgresql SQL for loading into Postgresql databases.

Standardized Zoning File Formats

Compressed size of zoning data ranges between 16M - 2G.

Format	Description
CSVWKT	All available data, with full geometries provided as Well-Known Text (WKT) in a column called `wkt`.
File GDB	Esri-specific spatial format.

Matched Address Data File Formats

Compressed size of matched address is about 10G.

Format	Description
CSV	All the available data, with comma separated, double-quoted strings, and lat/lon coordinates. Often used in cloud based applications. Spreadsheet applications can make use of this format, but will likely encounter cell and row size limits.

File Compression

Compression	Description
Zip .zip	All file formats and record layouts are available as zip files. Supported on most platforms.
Gzip .gz	Only available with CSVWKT formatted files. Intended for use in Google BigQuery and other data-processing applications.
