Google Maps API - Get Property Boundary Data


I am looking for a way to extract built in property boundary data from the Google API to know where to highlight areas for information needs.

It's easy enough drawing a polygon, but I want to know where to draw it in a more automated fashion. Perhaps similar to Geocoding for extracting an address location, except the geocoder only provides a central coordinate and a bounding box (for screen navigation) unfortunately.

Does Google provide this property data in some form?

Thanks


Solution

  • Having looked through the Maps APIs fairly extensively and no one suggesting otherwise. I think it's pretty conclusive Google Maps does not provide property boundaries.

    The best way to go is to look for a service that does have the data to integrate into Maps, but likely costs money.

    As an example these may be:

    None of these are guaranteed, looking into them myself, but may also be different from person to person depending on costs. If I find a free one, I'll give a shout.
