· How-To
Dear Friends of Loveland Parcel Data and landgrid.com,
A summary of updates in June of 2021 and the upcoming pipeline is below.
Key Parcel Data Stats:
- Average parcel age - 212 days, down from 223 last month
- Average county age - 240 days, down from 265 last month
- Added 8 new counties and refreshed 364 counties since last month
Upcoming Rebrand Update
As you're aware, we are in the process of moving away from the Landgrid brand to a new corporate brand and a new domain. The launch is scheduled for later this month. However, rest assured, all the links, API endpoints and bulk data delivery directories will remain un-impacted from this change. You will still be able to access our data and links without issues.
Loveland Parcel Record Schema additions
Please note - We have a few upcoming schema changes coming soon. In the next 30-45 days, we will be adding the following additional attributes to our Loveland Parcel Record Schema:
'lat' - Centroid coordinate (Basic, Standard, Premium)
'lon' - Centroid coordinate (Basic, Standard, Premium)
'taxyear' - A county-provided date that indicates which tax year the assessor's attributes apply to. (Standard, Premium)
Verse Table Attributes Notice
Our 'verse' table is an internal table we use as part of our pipeline process. It is provided in several file formats and contains meta data about every county in our data set. We have not been maintaining all the fields in that table and are removing those attributes from our exported verse tables. Going forward our verse table will consist of these fields that we consider the essential meta data for every county:
id, wkb_geometry, county, state, seat, population, sqmi, geoid, city, total_objects, assessor_data_date, last_refresh, path, canonical_path, accuzip_status, table_name, filename_stem, date_added, shapefile_size_flag
Technical support email address: We have a dedicated email address that goes directly to our senior technical and support folks! Please use tech@landgrid.com for any technical or support questions related to our data or APIs.
USPS Vacancy, Residential indicators: Now updated monthly. Updated in June 2021, next update in July.
Coverage Report: Updated for this month and available here:
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1q0PZB72nO8935EMGmsh3864VjEAMUE-pdHcPkoAiS5c/
For all full dataset customers, the updated data is available for download to bulk data clients in these formats: GeoPKG .gpkg (suggested), GeoJSON, Shapefile, and Postgres SQL files. In addition, this data has been updated on the landgrid.com website.
If your organization uses a custom export we are updating your data at the moment and if you don’t see the latest updates, please drop us a line.
A Data Dictionary for the Loveland Parcel Record Schema is always available here:
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/14RcBKyiEGa7q-SR0rFnDHVcovb9uegPJ3sfb3WlNPc0/
A machine-readable version of this list is included in the `verse` table available in all the formats above as well as CSV format for use in spreadsheets. To find the latest updates in verse, sort by 'last_refresh' and use the 'filename_stem' column to identify the file.

· Announcements
Landgrid has grown by leaps and bounds over the last two years, and is about to level up again.
In the second half of July we’re rolling out a major update to Landgrid.com. In fact the update is so major that Landgrid.com will be replaced by a new brand name, a new domain and a new look and feel.
All Landgrid links will immediately redirect to the proper place on the new site, including the API endpoints, so no existing services will be changed or impacted, but exciting new services will become available to you.
To understand why we’re making this significant update, it’s helpful to look at the journey we’ve been on.
Our company grew up in the civic technology, open data, and advocacy communities of Detroit, Michigan, where we experienced the power of clear property information to inform decision making and assist a broad array of people.
We recognized a need across many industries, communities, and efforts to understand how land is subdivided, owned, used, and inhabited.
To meet this need, we assembled a nationwide dataset of land parcel boundaries that is standardized, consistently updated, and easily accessible through our website, software, mobile app, API and nationwide data licensing.
As we’ve grown in scale and significance, we’ve come to realize that land information and property boundaries provide a perfect framework for matching, visualizing, and giving deeper spatial and jurisdictional context to other location datasets.
This has inspired us to think bigger about what we’re building. With land parcels at our core, we’ve been busy matching new datasets to our land parcels, and developing ways to make it easier for you to match your own. You’ll see an even greater focus on this in our July launch and rebrand.
As a recent example of matching land parcels to other datasets, you can now find our parcel data pre-joined with SafeGraph’s point of interest (POI) data on the SafeGraph Shop at shop.safegraph.com.
Followed by our launch next month, you'll see us rolling out combined datasets matched at a parcel level, and new tools for shaping location intelligence.
We can’t wait to share our rebrand and evolution with you all next month. Stay tuned.
Land parcels connect everything,
Jerry Paffendorf
