Licensed Data Catalog

El Paso County licenses geospatial datasets deemed significant County assets. County policy provides to the public valuable geospatial information while also establishing license schedules for each dataset in order to help recover the costs of acquiring and maintaining these datasets. Political subdivisions are available as countywide datasets. Parcels, aerial photography, and LIDAR terrain data are sold based upon preset 4000’x4000’ delivery tiles. These tile grids are available for download from our Free Data Catalog.  2007 GIS Data Distribution Policy Policy
