ll_gisacre — Regrid Calculated Parcel Acres ⭐

Description: Parcel acres as calculated by Regrid from county parcel geometry

Use it for: Use when you need to know how big the parcel actually is based on its geometry

Related fields: ll_gissqft ⭐, gisacre, deeded_acres
How it's made: Calculated from parcel geometry
Units: Acres · Valid range: 0+ · Example: 1.435
Coverage: See ll_gisacre_pct in the live Coverage Report CSV.

Also known as: parcel size, acreage, lot size, calculated acres, how big is the parcel (field aliases: regrid_acres, calculated_acres, geometry_acres)

ll_gissqft — Regrid Calculated Parcel Square Feet ⭐

Description: Parcel square feet as calculated by Regrid from supplied parcel geometry

Use it for: Use when you need to know how big the parcel actually is based on its geometry

Related fields: ll_gisacre ⭐, sqft
How it's made: Calculated from parcel geometry
Units: Square Feet · Valid range: 0+ · Example: 32829
Coverage: See ll_gissqft_pct in the live Coverage Report CSV.

Also known as: parcel square footage, lot size square feet, calculated area (field aliases: regrid_sqft, calculated_sqft, geometry_sqft)

lat — Centroid Latitude

Description: Decimal latitude coordinate (EPSG:4326). Guaranteed to be a point within the parcel. Usually this is the center or "centroid" of the parcel. When the center of the parcel is not actually in the parcel boundary, we move the point to the parcel itself.

Use it for: The center of the parcel

Related fields: lon
How it's made: Parcel centroid. Falls back to point on surface if the centroid is not within the parcel
Units: Numeric · Valid range: WGS48 (EPSG:4326) coordinate · Example: 42.266421
Coverage: See lat_pct in the live Coverage Report CSV.

Also known as: latitude, coordinates, lat long, parcel location point (field aliases: latitude, y, y_coord, lat_dd, wgs84_lat)

lon — Centroid Longitude

Description: Decimal longitude coordinate (EPSG:4326). Guaranteed to be a point within the parcel. Usually this is the center or "centroid" of the parcel. When the center of the parcel is not actually in the parcel boundary, we move the point to the parcel itself.

Use it for: The center of the parcel

Related fields: lat
How it's made: Parcel centroid. Falls back to point on surface if the centroid is not within the parcel
Units: Numeric · Valid range: WGS48 (EPSG:4326) coordinate · Example: -83.747204
Coverage: See lon_pct in the live Coverage Report CSV.

Also known as: longitude, coordinates, lat long, parcel location point (field aliases: longitude, x, x_coord, lon_dd, wgs84_lon)

deeded_acres — Deeded Acres

Description: Acres listed as "deeded acres" by the county. Often different and separate from acreage calculated by GIS.

Use it for: Parcel acreage as stated in the deed or legal description, where provided by the county.

Do not use it for: A measured area - deeded acres reflect the legal document, which can differ from the parcel's actual geometry. For area calculated from geometry, use ll_gisacre.

Related fields: ll_gisacre ⭐, gisacre
Units: Acres · Valid range: 0+
Coverage: See deeded_acres_pct in the live Coverage Report CSV.

Also known as: deeded acres, legal acreage, acreage per deed (field aliases: deed_acres, deeded_acreage)

gisacre — County-Provided Acres

Description: Acres value provided by the source

Use it for: Use when you need to know how big the county thinks this parcel is

Do not use it for: Not standardized - counties calculate area in various ways, so values are not comparable across places. For a consistent parcel area calculated by Regrid from the parcel geometry, use ll_gisacre (acres) or ll_gissqft (square feet).

Related fields: ll_gisacre ⭐, sqft, ll_gissqft ⭐, deeded_acres
Units: Acres · Valid range: 0+ · Example: 0.43
Coverage: See gisacre_pct in the live Coverage Report CSV.

Also known as: parcel size, lot size, acreage, how big is the parcel, area, acres (field aliases: GIS_acres, mapped_acres)

sqft — County-Provided Parcel Square Feet

Description: Parcel Square Feet value provided by the source

Use it for: Use when you need to know how big the county thinks this parcel is

Do not use it for: Not standardized - counties calculate area in various ways, so values are not comparable across places. For a consistent parcel size calculated by Regrid from the parcel geometry, use ll_gissqft (square feet) or ll_gisacre (acres).

Related fields: ll_gissqft ⭐, gisacre, ll_gisacre ⭐
Units: Square Feet · Valid range: 0+ · Example: 23392
Coverage: See sqft_pct in the live Coverage Report CSV.

Also known as: parcel square footage, lot size, square feet, how big, land area (field aliases: parcel_sqft, area_sqft)

plss_township — Public Land Survey System Township Reference

Description: Based on the centroid of the parcel, the Public Land Survey System township the parcel is located in. A parcel may cross township, range and/or section lines, we record the location of the center of parcel for reference. These are not county provided values and are derived from the Bureau of Land Management designated polygons.

How it's made: Set from national PLSS shapes
Valid range: See PLSS data · Example: 005S
Coverage: See plss_township_pct in the live Coverage Report CSV.

Also known as: (field aliases: township, T, twnshp)

plss_range — Public Land Survey System Range Reference

Description: Based on the centroid of the parcel, the Public Land Survey System range the parcel is located in. A parcel may cross township, range and/or section lines, we record the location of the center of parcel for reference. These are not county provided values and are derived from the Bureau of Land Management designated polygons.

How it's made: Set from national PLSS shapes
Valid range: See PLSS data · Example: 003E
Coverage: See plss_range_pct in the live Coverage Report CSV.

Also known as: (field aliases: range, R, rng)

plss_section — Public Land Survey System Section Reference

Description: Based on the centroid of the parcel, the Public Land Survey System section the parcel is located in. A parcel may cross township, range and/or section lines, we record the location of the center of parcel for reference. These are not county provided values and are derived from the Bureau of Land Management designated polygons.

How it's made: Set from national PLSS shapes
Valid range: See PLSS data · Example: Section 09
Coverage: See plss_section_pct in the live Coverage Report CSV.

Also known as: (field aliases: section, SEC)
