The data (current as of May 2012) are available on CD for cost of reproduction ($125) and includes address points, plus parcels, zoning, flood control zones, etc. The data are furnished in ArcGIS *personal* database format ONLY. (I have access to ArcGIS, so could theoretically convert them.) The data are copyrighted and Arlington County owns all rights to the data and allows use "...as an acknowledged source to produce maps or analysis but you may not redistribute, resell, or copy the data (except for back-up purposes)."<br><br>Probably other jurisdictions out there that place similar conditions on their data. <br><br clear=all>-- SEJ<br>-- twitter: @geomantic<br>-- skype: sejohnson8<br><br>"Common sense is the collection of prejudices acquired by age eighteen." -- Einstein<br><br><br><o:p></o:p></p><div><p class=MsoNormal>On Thu, Nov 29, 2012 at 12:28 PM, Ian Dees <<a href="mailto:ian.dees@gmail.com" target="_blank">ian.dees@gmail.com</a>> wrote:<o:p></o:p></p><div><p class=MsoNormal>On Thu, Nov 29, 2012 at 10:51 AM, Jeffrey Ollie <<a href="mailto:jeff@ocjtech.us" target="_blank">jeff@ocjtech.us</a>> wrote:<o:p></o:p></p></div><div><div><div><blockquote style='border:none;border-left:solid #CCCCCC 1.0pt;padding:0in 0in 0in 6.0pt;margin-left:4.8pt;margin-right:0in'><p class=MsoNormal>The Iowa DNR has an ongoing project to provide statewide geocoding<br>data.
