Parcels
Parcel maps show the boundaries of real property. The term plat map is often used interchangably. Each parcel has a large amount of information related to it, such as owner name, mailing address, sales data, and site address.
Parcel boundaries and related information are created and maintained by the Property Appraisers in each Florida county. The main purpose of parcel maps is tax assessment. The Property Appraisers assign a market value each property once per year based on recent sales of similar properties. Property taxes for each parcel are then levied based on market value and millage rates defined by local governments.
MapWise provides parcel boundaries and taxroll records for all 67 counties in Florida. The advantage of using our services is to save time when researching property, especially across multiple counties. We provide a single unified interface to property information in Florida.

Data Standardization
MapWise standardizes parcel taxroll data to match a common format. If you are viewing property records online, this saves you time by viewing information in a consistent format. If you are using GIS to work with the data, data standardization saves you an enormous amount of time spent trying to figure out and process the various database formats provided by the different property appraisers.
Data Update Frequency
Every county in the state of Florida produces an annual certified taxroll file that is certified by the Florida Department of Revenue in Oct/Nov of the current year. In addition, preliminary taxroll files are made available by FDOR in July/Aug of the current year. Many counties also provide the preliminary file throughout the year. MapWise obtains copies of the taxroll files from FDOR as well as from many individual counties. Counties that are updated semi-annually are sourced from FDOR. Counties that are updated more frequently are either sourced entirely from the county or partially from FDOR and partially from the county.
The schedule for updating parcel data varies by county. The certified taxrolls are made available in Nov/Dec of the current year. Updates to the certified taxrolls include owner name, mailing address, sales, and for some counties valuations. Parcel lines are updated semi-annually or annually, depending on the county.
