Notes for GIS users
No separate situs city field; SitusAddressAll sometimes includes city and ZIP (Cuyahoga) and sometimes not (Franklin), with trailing spaces. StateParcelID = 5-digit county FIPS + '-' + LocalParcelID. County is the title-case name ('Franklin'). CAMADataSite links to the county auditor record. Statistics queries are disabled on this view.
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=geojsonto 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 Ohio address, with LiDAR contours, soils, flood zones and wetlands.
