VT Property Transfers

THIS LAYER IS CURRENTLY BETA. This dataset provides approximate point locations and associated public information collected by the Department of Taxes under 32 V.S.A. § 9606 for all property transferred by deed in Vermont beginning in January 2019 through present. The layer is updated weekly. In addition to the data fields provided by the Department of Taxes, VCGI has added the latitude, longitude, standardized town name (based on the townCode), town GEOID, and Match Method (see below). Questions about property transfer data can be directed to the Department of Taxes at [e-mail]. Multiple methods are used to geocode property locations, indicated in the 'MatchMethod' field and prioritized in the following order: Geocoded using the VCGI ESITE Geocoder with the property street and city. MatchMethod = Property Address (ESITE). If unmatched: Match on SPAN in the E911 Site Locations layer; geocode using the location of the ESITE. MatchMethod = SPAN (ESITE). If unmatched: Geocode using the VCGI Composite Geocoder with the property street and city. MatchMethod = Property Address (Composite). If unmatched: Match on the SPAN in the Standardized Parcel Data layer; geocode based on a point located within the parcel polygon. While the point will fall within the correct parcel it may still be distant from the actual property, particularly in large parcels, and is less precise than the methods above. MatchMethod = SPAN (Parcel centroid). Locations are approximate, and those geocoded using the Property Address (Composite) and SPAN (Parcel centroid) methods in particular are less precise. Records that could not be geocoded using the above methods, often because of an incomplete, missing, or otherwise invalid SPAN and/or property address, are retained in the table but do not include geometry or coordinates. For these records, MatchMethod = Unmatched. Data download limitation VCGI recommends the use of feature services and geodatabase downloads when possible. Please note that if downloading the data as a shapefile the entries in the following fields may be truncated due to character limits: prTxExDesc (property tax exemption as described under32 V.S.A. § 9603) LGTExDesc (land gain exemption description) addSellNam (additional seller names from PTT175) addSellLoc (additional seller locations from PTT175) addBuyrNam (additional buyer names from PTT175) addBuyrLoc (additional buyer locations from PTT175)本图层目前处于测试阶段（BETA）。本数据集涵盖2019年1月至今佛蒙特州所有通过契约转让的不动产，其近似点位坐标及相关公开信息均由佛蒙特州税务部门依据《佛蒙特州法典》第32 V.S.A. § 9606条收集整理。本图层每周更新一次。 除税务部门提供的数据字段外，VCGI新增了纬度、经度、标准化城镇名称（基于townCode字段）、城镇GEOID以及匹配方法（详见下文）。若对不动产转让数据有疑问，请联系税务部门，邮箱地址为[e-mail]。 本数据集采用多种方法对不动产点位进行地理编码，相关信息记录在`MatchMethod`字段中，优先级如下： 1. 利用VCGI ESITE地理编码器（ESITE Geocoder），结合不动产街道与城市信息进行地理编码，对应`MatchMethod`值为「Property Address (ESITE)」。 2. 若未匹配成功，则匹配E911站点图层中的SPAN字段，基于ESITE的点位完成地理编码，对应`MatchMethod`值为「SPAN (ESITE)」。 3. 若仍未匹配成功，则利用VCGI Composite地理编码器（Composite Geocoder），结合不动产街道与城市信息进行地理编码，对应`MatchMethod`值为「Property Address (Composite)」。 4. 若依旧未匹配成功，则匹配标准化宗地数据图层中的SPAN字段，基于宗地多边形内部的点位完成地理编码。此类点位虽处于正确宗地范围内，但可能与实际不动产存在一定距离（尤其在大型宗地场景下），且精度低于前述方法，对应`MatchMethod`值为「SPAN (Parcel centroid)」。 点位信息均为近似值，其中采用「Property Address (Composite)」与「SPAN (Parcel centroid)」方法地理编码的点位精度相对更低。若因SPAN字段不完整、缺失或无效，或不动产地址无效等原因，无法通过上述方法完成地理编码的记录，仍会保留在数据表中，但不包含几何信息与坐标值，此类记录的`MatchMethod`值为「Unmatched」。 数据下载限制说明：VCGI建议在可行情况下优先使用要素服务与地理数据库下载方式。请注意，若以Shapefile格式下载数据，以下字段的内容可能因字符长度限制被截断：prTxExDesc（依据《佛蒙特州法典》第32 V.S.A. § 9603条规定的不动产税减免说明）、LGTExDesc（土地增益减免说明）、addSellNam（来自PTT175表的附加卖方姓名）、addSellLoc（来自PTT175表的附加卖方地址）、addBuyrNam（来自PTT175表的附加买方姓名）、addBuyrLoc（来自PTT175表的附加买方地址）。
