Web maps, quick inspection, scripting, and diffing two vintages in version control.

It is uncompressed JSON, so a large county runs to hundreds of megabytes, and the spec pins coordinates to WGS84 — if you need the county's own state-plane CRS for area calculations, take the GeoPackage instead.

Counties available as GeoJSON
Nothing is published as GeoJSON yet. Every dataset here is converted on publish, so this fills in as the catalog grows.
Other formats
shp
Shapefile
The format every desktop GIS reads without being asked, and the one most county assessors still publish.
gpkg
GeoPackage
One SQLite file, full-length field names, real CRS metadata, no sidecar files to lose.
csv
CSV
The attribute table with the geometry left behind — parcel IDs, owners, addresses, valuations.
parquet
GeoParquet
Columnar, compressed, and typed. Built for reading one column of ten million parcels rather than one parcel at a time.
