    Type_of_Source_Media: Parcel layer
    Source_Contribution: Assessor tax parcel data

    Plats (source 2 of 2)
    Engineers, Unpublished Material, Plats.

    Type_of_Source_Media: Digital and Printed Subdivision Plats
    Source_Contribution: Engineers

  2. How were the data generated, processed, and modified?

    Date: 2004 (process 1 of 3)
    The entire county parcel layer was dissolved using the subdivision field to create the subdivision polygons.

    Data sources used in this process:
    • County parcel data

    Date: Unknown (process 2 of 3)
    Subdivision plats must be submitted with an engineer's stamp and go through a minimum of two reviews by county officials before approval. Once approved by county zoning officials it may be recorded by the County Clerk and entered into the subdivision and /or parcel layer, either through coordinate geometry (COGO) or import of the submitted digital plat. This layer is maintained by the Assessor's office on the same 'as required' schedule as the tax parcels.

  3. What similar or related data should the user be aware of?


How reliable are the data; what problems remain in the data set?

  1. How well have the observations been checked?

  2. How accurate are the geographic locations?

  3. How accurate are the heights or depths?

  4. Where are the gaps in the data? What is missing?

    There are no known omissions.

  5. How consistent are the relationships among the observations, including topology?

    Topology has not been created for this layer. There has been no testing done on this data specifically. However, it is considered to be accurate to the extent that the parcel layer is accurate, as the base data was derived from that data. Since creation of the layer maintenance is accomplished through coordinate geometry or direct insertion from digital plat.
