* I need to charge $1.00 for the download, I’ll explain why later in this post.
Our mission is to make quality property data accessible to everyone. In keeping with this mission (and to increase awareness of this website 🙂 I want to offer our Q1 2026 Nationwide Parcel Layer for free. No strings, no nonsense, just a shameless marketing exercise that I hope will benefit my customers and the landrecords mission at the same time. I hope you’ll participate in this experiment with me!
How does this work
For the month of January 2026, click the link at the bottom of this post to buy the dataset for one dollar. After you checkout, you’ll get an email with a link to download the full dataset as a GeoPackage (.gpkg) file. That’s it. Load the data into whatever you load your geospatial data into, and let me know how it works for you.
I want feedback and insights and use cases from real people. You can send an email, or file a support ticket on your account page where the downloads are located.
Why are you charging $1.00 instead of $0.00?
Internet bandwidth and server capacity doesn’t grow on trees, and I need some way of throttling how may people are downloading the file at the same time (it’s a really big file [~100GB], the download will take awhile). I also want to make sure the data is getting in the hands of real people rather than bot farms. I will set “inventory” levels on the website based on how many downloads I can support at a time.
But why?
I want your feedback on how to improve the product. This is a way for me to bribe incentivize my potential customers to give me information about what additional attributes, coverage, and other improvements you’d like to see in the dataset so I can prioritize effort and investment. And I would love to hear about the projects you’re working on.
I will try to keep this going for as long as people are interested, and for as long as I can support it. I hope you find the data useful for your projects.
If you have any questions about this or anything else parcel-related, send me an email.
