  Access_Constraints: This data is public domain and has no access constraints.

There is always a degree of inaccuracy associated with bringing all property claims together to form a county-wide dataset.

Distribution_Information:
  Resource_Description: Downloadable Data
  Distribution_Liability: Madison County is not liable for the accuracy of the parcel data.  Property mapping is a work in progress in Madison County, and, therefore, not every property is reflected in the data.  There is a substantial lag time between new property transfers and the mapping of those transfers.  For up-to-date info on property transfers, visit the Madison County Register of Deeds.
