GIS FTP Data
A variety of assessment data is available in electronic format for download from our FTP site. Snohomish County has made every effort to make the data freely and readily accessible. Due to the variety of user system configurations and security software, we are not able to provide technical assistance if you are unable to download the data.
If you have difficulty downloading the data, it is recommended that you check your security software to see if it is set for passive FTP, is blocking ZIP files, set to allow only small amounts of data to be downloaded, or if the county FTP address is being blocked. As an alternative, assessment data is available on CD. Please contact our office for instructions on how to acquire the data on CD.
