Inventory scope
County GIS resources; individual layer extents not checked.
Complete download-page inventory: 22 shapefile ZIP references plus one Access parcel database. Coordinate text: NAD 1983 State Plane Minnesota Central Zone FIPS 2202, Feet. Frequently updated files are dated November 1, 2026; page says weekly weekend creation.
Six files retain January 18, 2017 dates: geomorph, land_use, soils, watershed_mgmt_districts, watersheds and wetlands. Do not describe these as 2026 refreshes.
The parcel database description expressly includes owners, addresses, land/building details, sales and permits; joinable to parcels. This does not prove footprint geometry or a building-permit-specific register.
Official-page-linked Public Water Access and Recycling/Compost applications were traced into their web maps and county service schemas. Old HTTP/:6080 metadata copies failed before non-text body read; HTTPS references were independently present in saved configurations, not guessed substitutions.
Zoning lookup and permit search were read as landing pages, no form submissions. Generic viewer HTML did not itself expose operational JSON. Trail Directory mixes external, PDF and GPS guides. International Water Institute LiDAR link is not promoted as official county hosting.
Download disclaimer is as-is with a jurisdiction-use limitation; broader site terms require lawful use. Neither is a standard unrestricted redistribution grant.
FindGiS links to official pages. It does not host these local files. Blank update dates mean the source did not establish a dataset update date, not that the data are current.
