Every parcel, year by year

The file

6,831,595 parcel-years: 1,160,718 parcels in the seven metro counties, one row for each year-end MetroGIS file 2021 to 2025 and the current quarterly file (as of 2026-09-24), with value, tax, use, homestead and every sale dated inside that year. One file per city or township.

Counties in this file: Anoka, Carver, Dakota, Hennepin, Ramsey, Scott, Washington · 26 columns available · free, no account, no rate limit.

Joins to an address on lat, lon, so it can be pointed at one property rather than read whole.

What the rows look like

10 real rows from this file, spread evenly across it rather than taken off the top — every file here is written in some order, so its first rows are never a fair sample of it. These are the default columns, which is what the download button hands over.

An em dash means the record is blank, and that is the source's gap rather than ours. Across the whole file: parcels sharing that price and date is blank on 97.5% of rows, sales this year is blank on 95.6% of rows, sold this year, price is blank on 95.6% of rows, total tax is blank on 10.5% of rows, address is blank on 4.3% of rows.

The cuts of this file

Every cut is the same columns, filtered. Pick one and the row count changes; the file does not.

Columns marked default come down unless you pick your own with &columns=.

Where it comes from

Metropolitan Council / MetroGIS Regional Parcel Dataset — Parcel_Points year-end 2021-2025 and Parcel_Points_Aggregate, each county's assessor file compiled

This source does not stamp the day it was published, so we cannot honestly date our copy of it and will not guess. The period the records themselves cover is on the system card.

What this layer cannot answer is stated in full on the system card — read it before quoting a figure.

What you may do with it

Records published by Metropolitan Council, county assessors. Government data held by a Minnesota state agency or political subdivision, presumed public under the Minnesota Government Data Practices Act (Minn. Stat. ch. 13) and published by the agency itself.

/api/export?dataset=parcel-panel&format=csv returns the same file. Call /api/export with no arguments for the whole catalogue.

Point an AI at it

Every file carries its own source, its capture date and the layer's own warnings in the header, so a model reading one gets the caveats with the numbers rather than the numbers alone. Paste this at an assistant that can fetch a URL:

Everything above the header row is provenance and limits. Read it first,
then answer using only what the rows support.

llms.txt describes the whole warehouse the same way — what each dataset holds, which counties it really covers, and what it cannot answer.
