Description:

Abstract:

The Missoula County Cadastral Database is comprised of taxable parcels (fee land) and public land (exempt property). It is not broken down into individual lots, for instance lots 4 & 5, Forest Grove Subdivision may comprise one taxable parcel and the lot line between lots 4 & 5 is not contained in this database. The database encompasses all the area within Missoula County, Montana. Each parcel contains an attribute called geocode that is the parcel identifier. It relates to the geocode in the Montana Dept. of Revenue Computer Assisted Mass Appraisal (CAMA) database. Most of the ancillary attribute information is held in this database. Information such as owner name, legal description, appraised value as well as structural and agricultural data are available within CAMA.

Purpose:

Display landownership information that is tied to the MT. Dept. of Revenue CAMA database. This data is available for a variety of mapping and query purposes.

The PLSS was digitized from USGS 1:24,000 quad maps and used as control for parcelization. Therefore, this data should be nearly equal to the national map standards used for 1:24,000 scale data. That PLSS net has been updated with survey data for limited areas of the Missoula urban area.
