Alex,

We definitely have buildings, updated as of 2011. We use them for the
stormwater remediation fee AKA Rain Tax. I'd like to figure out how to
combine them with buildings (or not) and convert the abbreviated addresses
to full. We can talk about that more on imports.

As for the public domain thing, I don't think we have it on the website,
but it is (or should) be in the metadata. I will work on getting it written
onto the website.

To view the disclaimer go to this
link<http://www.baltimorecountymd.gov/Agencies/infotech/GIS/datadownload.html>and
click FTP Site, which opens up the disclaimer in a javascript window
(I
think). My favorite clause is :

> The user or recipient of data, hereby acknowledges that Baltimore County,
> Maryland, its agents, employees, successors, and assigns shall not be
> responsible for any and all property damage or bodily injury (*including

Death by data?

Jason: Alright, public domain it should stay then!
