State of Maryland municipality boundary dataset.Maryland Department of Planning (MDP) maps annexations from municipalities. This dataset is created and maintained by the Maryland Department of Planning. These boundaries are not intended to serve as a legal description. Fields:MUN_NAME (Municipality Name): Name of Municipality located in Maryland.RESOLUTION_NUMBER (Resolution Number): Local Municipality Annexation Resolution Number.ANNEXATION_DATE (Annexation Date) (DD/MM/YYYY): The Annexation Date field shows when there's been a change in the boundary. This date is known as the “Effective Date” from the municipality. The date 1/1/1997 is used as a default date of when annexation changes were first indicated in the GIS layer and not necessarily of when it was actually annexed. If there's a date of 1/1/1997, it can be assumed that the annexation occurred on this date or before. For example, for Baltimore City, the city boundary was determined hundreds of years ago. Other than that default date, the date will show when the property was annexed. ACRES (GIS Acres): GIS calculated acresJURSCODE (Jurisdiction Code) – Four letter county code: ALLE (Allegany), ANNE (Anne Arundel), BACI (Baltimore City), BACO (Baltimore County), CALV (Calvert), CARO (Caroline), CARR (Carroll), CECI (Cecil), CHAR (Charles), DORC (Dorchester), FRED (Frederick), GARR (Garrett), HARF (Harford), HOWA (Howard), KENT (Kent), MONT (Montgomery), PRIN (Prince George’s) QUEE (Queen Anne’s), SOME (Somerset), STMA (St. Mary’s), TALB (Talbot), WASH (Washington), WICO (Wicomico), WORC (Worcester).

Polygon features which represent the political boundary of each county in the State of Maryland. The Maryland Political County Boundaries were developed using USGS Topo Quads, boundaries submitted by each Maryland county, monument points, and historic records from the Maryland Archive. This data is used by various modules throughout the Maryland Department of Transportation (MDOT), as well as many other State and local government agencies for purposes such as planning, land use, transportation, data & asset collection, and cartographic product development. This data is updated and published on an annual (yearly) basis for the prior year. This data is for the year 2015.

Precinct (voting district) polygon boundaries for 2022 collected by the Maryland Department of Planning (Planning) from counties (including Baltimore City) or digitized by Planning in coordination with counties, with precinct numbers reformatted as necessary for statewide consistency (see VTD field specifications below). All data are reprojected to WGS 1984 Web Mercator (auxiliary sphere) consistent with iMap standards, but precincts are otherwise delineated as received from counties. Planning may complete minor future adjustments to ensure precincts are edge matched with Census block boundaries. Fields include: JURSCODE (Jurisdiction Code) – MdProperty View jurisdiction code (four-letter county or Baltimore City code) COUNTY (County) – The US Census Bureau’s five-digit geographic identifier for each county in Maryland (including Baltimore City), which is includes the Maryland state code (24) followed by a three-digit county code. COUNTYNAME (County Name) – County name in text format VTD (Voting District Identifier) – Voting district identifier comprised of a five-digit county code (see “COUNTY” field) followed by a six-digit precinct identifier. The six-digit precinct identifier contains a two-digit election district number followed by a dash followed by a three-digit precinct number. This field is NULL for precinct names that could not be formatted according to these specifications. LABEL (Precinct Label) – Includes either the final six digits of the VTD field (precinct identifier) or the precinct name as provided by the county if a six-digit precinct identifier could not be derived from the source data. May be blank or NULL. Precinct labels are not unique across counties. NAME (Full Precinct Name) – Full precinct name, including the County Name and Precinct Label AGG_SRC (Aggregator Source) - Includes the aggregator organization credited with data aggregation, feature class name, and vintage date DATE_AGGREGATED (Date Aggregated) – Date the data were aggregated (YYMMDD) GIS_SRC (GIS Source) – The original source of the GIS spatial and attribute information the aggregator obtained, typically formatted as a shapefile or feature class name SRC_DATE (GIS Source Date) - The date (YYYYMMDD) the GIS data were obtained by the data aggregator. If the month or day is unknown, the date is YYYY0000 This dataset includes historical precinct data from 2022.
