Process for qualifying interests to obtain the Regional Parcel
Dataset:
- Review the Access Constraints in section one of the Regional Parcel Dataset Metadata to determine if your organization is a "qualifying governmental" or "qualifying academic" interest, and thus eligible for this license.
- Read the Use Constraints in section one of the metadata to understand the types of restrictions that are imposed by the license.
- Review the rest of the Metadata to verify that the dataset is suitable for your intended use.
- Download the license agreement. Fill it out completely, sign and date it, then submit it via U.S. Mail to the address below. Faxes or photocopies will not be accepted. Note: Please do not complete page 10 of the license agreement unless a Third Party will be accessing the data on behalf of your organization.
