Parcel Lineage
Connected parcel history & change data
Track parcel changes with precision
Parcel Lineage helps organizations understand how parcel boundaries change over time. Delivered as one data product with three connected datasets—parent, child, and event—it links previous and current parcel shapes and classifies changes such as splits, merges, shifts, and redraws. With annual parcel shape history dating back to 2019, persistent shape identifiers, representative CLIPs, and overlap statistics, Parcel Lineage supports geospatial analysis, subdivision tracking, territory mapping, land research, tax reassessment, and planning workflows.
Key product attributes
- Single data product with a 3-dataset structure: Parent represents previous parcel shapes, child represents current parcel shapes, and event links the 2 with change details.
- Event classification: Identifies parcel changes such as splits, merges, shifts, and redraws.
- Representative CLIPs included: Provides representative CLIP® (Cotality’s Integrated Property) IDs for parent and child parcels associated with lineage events. This unique property identifier, powered by CoreAI, connects all records related to a property across our data sources.
- Annual lookback to 2019: Includes annual parcel shape history back to 2019.
- Event-based coverage: Includes only parcel shapes that pair as lineage events between vintages, not every parcel shape.
- Efficient tracking: Quickly detect and quantify parcel growth—such as subdivisions and land use changes—without manually comparing multiple vintages.
- Comprehensive coverage: Covers all 50 states and the District of Columbia.
- Monthly updates: Ensures access to the latest parcel change data across all covered geographies.
- Geospatial compatibility: Designed for use with all leading visualization tools.
- Unique identifiers: Provides unique identifiers for each parcel shape to maintain accurate records.
- AI-ready data (delivered with semantic companion files)
Pricing varies based on volume, geography, and delivery.
FAQ
What is Parcel Lineage?
Parcel Lineage is a bulk geospatial data product that helps organizations understand how parcel shapes change over time. It connects previous parcel shapes to current parcel shapes and identifies the events that link them.
What datasets are included?
Parcel Lineage includes 3 connected datasets: parent, child, and event. Parent represents the previous parcel shape, child represents the current parcel shape, and event links the 2 with change details.
What types of parcel changes does it identify?
The product classifies parcel change events such as splits, merges, shifts, and redraws, while also providing overlap statistics between parent and child parcel shapes.
Does Parcel Lineage include every parcel?
No. Parcel Lineage only includes parcel shapes that are part of a lineage event between vintages. It does not include every parcel shape; Parcel Essentials, a next-generation foundational parcel solution, will provide full parcel shape coverage. Parcel Essentials, a complete foundational parcel solution, provides full parcel shape coverage.
Who can benefit from Parcel Lineage?
Parcel Lineage is designed for organizations including brokers, land developers, capital market investors, infrastructure companies and government agencies, to gain key insights on land geospatial changes over time.
