We have many data layers available to choose from. Contact our staff to set up a free consultation to help you understand which options will work the best for your map project.
NOTE: Certain map requests involve the creation of new data, modification to existing data, or staff time over 1 hour which carries a GIS project fee, billed at an hourly rate.
Hourly Fee:
$40.00 per hour
$10.00 per 1/4 hour
In addition to the hourly project fee, a printing fee will be charged if a hard-copy map is requested. Hard copy maps up to 36x48 cost $10 each. Call for pricing on oversized plots. PDFs can be emailed for free.

Data Requests
Mecklenburg County believes in the ingenuity of its citizens and the power of open data and open source software to bring that ingenuity to life. Opening public data and releasing open source software enhances government transparency and encourages public participation and collaboration.
Open data has four key attributes:
- The data is accessible to everyone.
- The data is available in open, non-proprietary formats.
- You have the right to redistribute the data.
- You have the right to modify and make derivative data and works.
You can directly download Mecklenburg County GIS data from our Open Mapping site. Due to the large data formats aerial imagery and LIDAR are not available for download. Please visit the Open Mapping Site and complete a Data Request Form to acquire aerial imagery and LIDAR data sets.
