MassGIS Map / CD Data Fee Increase
Effective February 14, 2005

MassGIS present fees for maps and data CD-ROMs were originally set in 1989. 
In that time, our cost for providing these records has gone up substantially. 
We have been able to keep the fees unchanged over the years by substantially reducing the time it takes to produce the maps and data. 

However, the fees no longer keep up with our costs, so we applied to the Executive Office of Administration and Finance for a fee increase. 
That fee increase was approved in late January. 
The new fees are described in detail below


1.  DEP MCP 21e NRS Site Scoring Maps  are $35.00 each and $5.00 per additional copy.


2.  Large Format Maps - most are $40 each and $5.00 per additional copy.

Prices for some maps are not set by MassGIS and so are exceptions to the above pricing.
The exceptions include:

Wetlands Habitat  
$25.00 first copy / $5.00 add'l copy



Wetlands on 2-meter Orthophotos
$20.00
DEP Eelgrass Resources 32x38
$20.00
Statewide Land Conservation Plan
$20.00



Wetlands on 1-meter Orthophotos
$15.00
DEP Eelgrass Resources 24x26
$15.00

3.  Digital Data (CDs)  -  The prices for the digital data CDs have been standardized.

For any CD set the first 3 CDs are each $50.00 (e.g., 3 CDs is $150) and $30 per CD for each of the additonal CDs in the set

* Most of the standard CD sets are 1 CD ($50)

The exceptions include:

$300.00 - Statewide data (8 CD set)
     (CD 1-3 are $150 plus the remaining 5 CDs x $30  = $150. The total is $300.00)
$360.00 - 1/2 m Black and White Orthophotos - MrSID ( 10 CD set)
     (CD 1-3 are $150 plus the remaining 7 CDs x $30  = $210. The total is $360.00)
$210.00 - USGS Topographic Quad - TIFF ( 5 CD set)
     (CD 1-3 are $150 plus the remaining 2 CDs x $30  = $60. The total is $210.00)

Regional Data  and Custom orders - prices vary depending on number of CDs.

1 CD  = $50
2 CDs = $100
3 CDs = $150
4 CDs = $180
5 CDs = $210
6 CDs = $240
7 CDs = $270
8 CDs = $300 etc.
