<idAbs>This dataset is a "metadata layer" providing information on the compiled opt-in open county parcel data from Minnesota counties. This companion GIS dataset provides information about the "opt-in" status of a county that indicates whether the county is included in the open data parcel dataset. Additionally, it provides the date the parcel data was acquired (if known), a link to the county data source URL, parcel data website viewer, and other notes.</idAbs>
<idPurp>This dataset was developed as a companion GIS dataset to provide information about the compiled opt-in parcel dataset. </idPurp>

<stepDesc>During the open parcel data compilation process, the contents of the fields are updated. The "gac_open_approval" field is "true" if the county has indicated they would like their data included in the open parcel dataset. If you represent a county not included in this dataset, and would like to opt-in, please contact Heather Albrecht (Heather.Albrecht@hennepin.us), co-chair of the Geospatial Advisory Council (GAC)’s Parcels and Land Records Committee's Open Data Subcommittee at stovernr@stlouiscountymn.gov
County parcel data does not need to be in the GAC attribute parcel standard to be included. MnGeo maps the county fields to the GAC standard.</stepDesc>
