Kent County's GIS department has such data. However, the exercise of reading and interpreting their database schema is likely to range from non-trivial to well nigh impossible depending on the heritage of the data, the applications used to create it, and the quality of the available documentation.

Based on Kent County's requirement of Silverlight for viewing their interactive map online, there is at least some hope. It could have been AutoDesk Map Viewer.
