*Note: Parcel data downloads also available from the Parcels Page at the VT Open Geodata Portal remain served in VT State Plane Projection and are downloadable either as statewide layers for active and inactive polygons or individual town extracts for active polys. Furthermore, the new parcel services and downloads no longer contain a separately available parcel lines layer, as they are not uniformly maintained by source towns and map vendors.

As always, reach out to us at VCGI if you have any parcel-related questions and be sure to check the Parcel Program Overview Page periodically to learn about updates in how parcel data are maintained and made available throughout Vermont.
