Land Parcels
If you want to divide up the city based on land use information, this file contains very recent boundaries of all Harris County parcels and their land use codes.
- In ArcGIS Pro, in the Catalog Pane, right click on the Folders and choose "add folder connection" then navigate to O:\Cataloged\Local\HarrisHouston\HarrisCountyAppraisalDistrict and expand the Parcels.gdb.
- Select the most recent file in this geodatabase and drag it to your map window (be sure to have your map zoomed in to the area of interest before adding this file or it will take a long time to load).
- Expand the HarrisCountyAppraisalDistrict\ParcelTables . If you want land use information, make sure to navigate to the most recent RealProperty geodatabase.
- Drag Land (land use codes) or Real_acct (owner mail address, owner, home values) to your map depending on your needs.
If you are using the Land file, you can go back to ArcCatalog and find CodeDescriptions.gdb\LandUseCode_CodeDescriptions to figure out what the codes mean (look at the file using Preview tab in ArcCatalog).
As the file will be very large, be sure to clip it. Then, you can join tables.
