The dataset has combined the Parcels and Computer-Assisted Mass Appraisal (CAMA) data for 2023 into a single dataset. This dataset is designed to make it easier for stakeholders and the GIS community to use and access the information as a geospatial dataset. Included in this dataset are geometries for all 169 municipalities and attribution from the CAMA data for all but one municipality. Pursuant to Section 7-100l of the Connecticut General Statutes, each municipality is required to transmit a digital parcel file and an accompanying assessor\u2019s database file (known as a CAMA report), to its respective regional council of governments (COG) by May 1 annually.\u00a0

These data were gathered from the CT municipalities by the COGs and then submitted to CT OPM. This dataset was created on 12/08/2023 from data collected in 2022-2023. Data was processed using Python scripts and ArcGIS Pro, ensuring standardization and integration of the data.

CAMA Notes:

The CAMA underwent several steps to standardize and consolidate the information. Python scripts were used to concatenate fields and create a unique\u00a0identifier for each entry. The resulting dataset contains 1,353,595 entries and information on property assessments\u00a0and other relevant\u00a0attributes.

Spatial Data Notes:

Data processing involved merging the parcels from different municipalities\u00a0using ArcGIS Pro and Python. The resulting dataset contains 1,247,506 parcels.
