Notes for GIS users

No situs address or city fields. parcel_id is whatever the source supplied, may be null or not unique statewide; filter by local_gov. Fairbanks NSB road polygons carry parcel_id '9999999.0' and property_type 'Roadway' - treat as no parcel. feature_id is internal, not an APN. Item description lists each authoritative source service URL.

How to use it

QGIS: Layer > Data Source Manager > ArcGIS REST Server, add a connection with the service URL (the endpoint above without the final /0), then add the layer. Filter to your area before exporting.
ArcGIS Pro: Add Data > Data From Path, paste the endpoint.
Direct query: append /query?geometry=LON,LAT&geometryType=esriGeometryPoint&inSR=4326&spatialRel=esriSpatialRelIntersects&outFields=*&f=geojson to get the parcel at a point.
CAD: see getting a parcel into AutoCAD or Civil 3D.

Assessor parcel lines are for taxation and are often 5 to 50 ft off the legal boundary. Why.

Basesheet uses this to draw the parcel line on a base plan for any Alaska address, with LiDAR contours, soils, flood zones and wetlands.
