Opinion: The fee may limit utility without providing revenue sufficient to offset the utility loss. Providing the data for free makes it easier to use, and increases its use, which in turn benefits the community by putting good data in the hands of all property owners, individuals and developers alike. Counties who fund themselves by taxing property should not charge its constituent property owners to access data that the county has about their property. But fee-based data access is better than none at all.
