Parcels are a definite commodity in the world of GIS and land planning. In honor of this, here is a pretty straightforward topic for my Free For All: a link to county-level parcel shapefiles for the state of North Carolina. Maintained by the North Carolina State University Libraries, this webpage has a long list of links to county GIS portals as well as a number of direct links to parcel downloads, most of them in shapefile format. You will also find a variety of other spatial datasets on many of these county GIS websites, including road centerlines, orthoimagery and cultural layers. While admittedly the list of links is not 100% inclusive, it is an excellent starting point if you need parcels and other spatial datasets for North Carolina.
Until my next edition of Free For All, happy hunting for free geospatial goodies!
