Parcel Outlines

Updated: November 13, 2009

The parcelbase.zip file contains the City of Milwaukee parcel outlines.

Starting in January, 2009, the City of Milwaukee parcel shapefile accomodates condominium records (multiple tax identifiers -- taxkeys -- assigned to one parcel).  Multiple records (one for each taxkey) exist for condominium parcels.  As a result, a direct join can be made between parcelbase.shp and MPROP (or other taxkey-based dataset), and condominium data will be accurately joined.

We are currently upgrading our parcelbase and its maintenance such that updates can be made on a regular basis.  Parcel changes (combinations and divisions) are current.  Clean-up work of erroneous parcels is on-going.

Police Districts

Updated: July, 2009

Although most dime segments fall near the center of the right-of-way, it is not an accurate representation of street centerlines. It is a tool for obtaining street name and address information for streets within the city of Milwaukee.
