A practical entitlement & site-screening workflow
Ask cross-jurisdiction questions without rebuilding the map city by city.
Local governments publish zoning and planning information using different terminology, categories, map structures, and source documents. Resi Metrics normalizes that information for regional comparison while keeping the local context available when you need to drill deeper.
Understand future planning direction
Compare standardized future-land-use categories across municipal comprehensive plans, then review the local plan designation, summary, source plan, and related special-area guidance.
Connect policy to the parcel
Bring zoning, planning, jurisdictional information, tax-roll characteristics, floodplain and wetlands metrics, environmental flags, and other parcel-level indicators into a common first-pass review.
Identify development candidates
Use prepared categories and the Potential Vacant Parcels view to narrow large search areas, then compare likely candidate parcels against the entitlement and planning conditions relevant to your development strategy.
Standardize the comparison — preserve the local detail
One regional framework without flattening the source information.
The product creates a more homogeneous zoning and planning fabric for regional search and comparison while retaining the original district names, plan designations, summaries, and source references needed for jurisdiction-specific review.

Parcel-Level MMPK
Tax Parcels, Tax Roll, Environmental & Site-Feature Screening
Beneath the regional entitlement and planning overlays, the Tarrant County Tax Parcels layer serves as the core parcel-centric “entitlements and constraints” view. The standardized parcel fabric combines appraisal-district and tax-roll information with jurisdictional, zoning, planning, floodplain, wetlands, environmental, and physical-site information so users can move from a regional land-use question to parcel-level feasibility review without changing datasets.
Parcel & Entitlement Detail
Parcel, Tax Roll & Entitlement Overlays
Review property identity and tax-roll information alongside the planning and entitlement geographies intersecting each Tarrant County parcel.
- Parcel and appraisal-district identifiers
- Owner and situs-address information
- Property-use and legal-description fields
- Appraised land, improvement, and total values
- Building and land characteristics where available
- Geodesic parcel area
- Jurisdictional intersections
- Zoning and zoning-overlay intersections
- Future-land-use intersections
- Special-area-plan intersections
- Appraisal-district and map research links
Physical Constraints
Floodplain & Wetlands
Parcel-level intersection metrics translate mapped federal floodplain, wetlands, and riparian information into a faster first-pass view of how much of a tract may be affected.
- Special Flood Hazard Area metrics
- Floodway acreage
- 500-year / 0.2% annual-chance floodplain metrics
- Approximate developable acreage outside mapped SFHA
- Primary wetlands type and affected acreage
- Riparian type and affected acreage where applicable
- FEMA and USFWS source-viewer links
Due-Diligence Indicators
Environmental & Site Feature Indicators
Prepared parcel and proximity flags help users identify environmental-program or physical-site conditions that may warrant more detailed review before advancing a development opportunity.
- TCEQ environmental-program roll-up indicators
- Storage-tank, Brownfield, Superfund, and remediation context
- Voluntary Cleanup and related program indicators
- Landfill and hazardous-waste program context
- Pipelines and oil / gas well indicators
- Railroad and junkyard proximity indicators
- Mapped stream information
- Other physical and infrastructure site-feature flags
- Source-map links for deeper agency-level follow-up
These environmental, floodplain, wetlands, and site-feature metrics are attributes and prepared screening information within the parcel-level MMPK workflow—not separate KMZ parcel products. They are intended to help identify questions for follow-up rather than replace site-specific environmental, engineering, survey, or regulatory review.

Move from regional pattern to local source context.
The value of the MMPK is not simply that the datasets are stored together. Resi Metrics prepares the information so users can compare standardized categories, turn related sublayers on and off, inspect local designations, and move into formatted source information without rebuilding the map from raw files.
Curated organization
Entitlements, planning, parcel, tax-roll, and screening information are organized into logical layer groups and prepared sublayers.
Purpose-built symbology
Standardized categories and deliberate display rules make it easier to compare similar development conditions across jurisdictions.
Formatted source context
Local district names, plan references, summaries, attributes, and source links remain available for deeper review and independent verification.
Prepared development-search view
Potential Vacant Parcels
The Tax Parcels layer includes a custom Resi Metrics Potential Vacant Parcels view that uses tax-roll characteristics to identify parcels that may warrant consideration during development-site searches.
Rather than starting with the entire county parcel fabric, users can begin with this narrower candidate set and overlay the zoning, future-land-use, special-area-plan, and other conditions relevant to a particular development strategy.
Example workflow
Start with Potential Vacant Parcels, then turn on a target planning or entitlement category—such as Multifamily | High-Density Residential future land use or Light Industrial | Flex | Logistics zoning—to quickly focus the regional search on parcels that may merit deeper feasibility review.
“Potential Vacant Parcels” is a screening-oriented filtered view, not a determination that a parcel is legally, physically, or functionally vacant. Confirm site conditions, ownership, existing improvements, and development suitability independently.
Geographic coverage
Tarrant County parcels with planning and entitlement context that can extend beyond the county line.
The product intentionally uses different geographic extents for different types of information so the parcel fabric remains tied to Tarrant County while contributing municipal and planning geographies retain their meaningful source extent.
Tarrant County
Tax Parcels and the associated parcel-level tax-roll, environmental, floodplain, wetlands, and physical-site feature information are limited to Tarrant County appraisal-district parcel boundaries.
Municipal source extents
Zoning and zoning-overlay datasets follow contributing municipal boundaries and may include limited adjacent-county overlap where city limits extend beyond Tarrant County.
Planning source extents
Future-land-use and special-area-plan layers follow the relevant contributing municipal or planning geography and may similarly extend into adjacent counties where the source planning area does.
Why this matters:
Entitlement and planning conditions do not always stop neatly at the Tarrant County boundary. Retaining applicable municipal and planning extents makes regional comparison more useful while keeping the parcel-level product clearly tied to Tarrant County.
Delivery & viewing environment
Use the MMPK for the complete parcel-level experience.
The complete Tarrant County product is organized as an Esri Mobile Map Package (.mmpk), allowing entitlement, planning, parcel, tax-roll, environmental, floodplain, wetlands, and site-feature information to operate together in one prepared ArcGIS Earth environment.
ArcGIS Earth is Resi Metrics’ recommended free viewing environment for the MMPK. The core local package can be opened and reviewed without an ArcGIS Online subscription, with prepared layers, sublayers, symbology, and formatted information already assembled.
Current delivery model
MMPK for the complete product. KMZ/KML for applicable planning and entitlement overlays.
Zoning Districts, Zoning Overlay Districts, Future Land Use, and Special Area Plans may also be provided as complementary KML/KMZ overlays for compatible workflows.
The Tax Parcels layer—including tax-roll attributes, entitlement and planning intersections, floodplain and wetlands metrics, environmental-program flags, site-feature indicators, and the Potential Vacant Parcels view—is delivered through the MMPK, where its larger parcel-level feature set and formatted information can be reviewed as part of the complete product experience.
Use the MMPK in ArcGIS Earth when you want the full relationship between regional planning and entitlement layers and the parcel-level screening information beneath them.
Practical review sequence
- Choose the entitlement or planning condition you want to understand.
- Compare standardized categories across the regional map.
- Review the underlying local district, designation, or plan context.
- Bring the Tarrant County parcel layer into the review.
- Inspect tax-roll, environmental, and site-feature indicators before deeper verification.
Screening resource — verify material findings
Start with a unified map. Finish with the authoritative source.
This product is designed for first-pass feasibility review, site comparison, entitlement screening, planning research, and early identification of conditions that may require deeper investigation.
It does not replace official municipal zoning determinations, adopted-plan interpretation, appraisal district records, environmental source-agency records, site-specific environmental review, survey, engineering analysis, or legal due diligence. Material findings should be confirmed using the applicable current source record and project-specific facts.

Frequently asked questions
Before you purchase
What format is the product delivered in?
The complete product is delivered through an Esri Mobile Map Package (.mmpk). Zoning, zoning-overlay, future-land-use, and special-area-plan overlays may also be provided in complementary KML/KMZ format.
The Tarrant County Tax Parcels layer—including tax-roll, floodplain, wetlands, environmental, site-feature, and other parcel-level information—is part of the MMPK rather than the KMZ delivery.
Why standardize zoning and future land use?
Municipalities often use different names for zoning districts or planning categories that describe similar development patterns. Resi Metrics assigns those local designations to common category frameworks so users can perform broader cross-jurisdiction searches and comparisons.
The original local designation is retained, so users can move back from the standardized regional category to the local district, plan category, ordinance, or source document when deeper review is required.
What is the Potential Vacant Parcels layer?
Potential Vacant Parcels is a custom Resi Metrics filtered view within the Tarrant County Tax Parcels layer. It uses tax-roll characteristics to identify parcels that may be useful during development-site searches.
It is intended as a screening tool rather than a definitive vacancy determination. Users should independently confirm ownership, improvements, occupancy, physical conditions, and development suitability.
What environmental information is included with the parcel layer?
The parcel-level MMPK includes floodplain and wetlands metrics, environmental-program flags, physical and infrastructure site-feature indicators, and links to applicable source viewers for deeper follow-up. These fields are designed for first-pass screening rather than final environmental or engineering determinations.
Does the product stop at the Tarrant County boundary?
The Tax Parcel and associated parcel-level feature set is tied to Tarrant County appraisal-district parcel boundaries. Zoning, zoning overlays, future land use, and special-area planning may extend beyond the county line where contributing municipal or planning boundaries extend into adjacent counties.
Do I need an ArcGIS Online subscription?
No ArcGIS Online subscription is required to open and review the core local Resi Metrics MMPK in ArcGIS Earth. Optional online content or externally published resources may still depend on internet connectivity, source availability, sign-in, or applicable access rights.
Can I try the product experience before purchasing?
Yes. The free Resi Metrics sample MMPK includes a selected geographic subset of the Tarrant County zoning, land-planning, tax-parcel, and environmental product together with examples from other Resi Metrics product families.
