Abstract:
This dataset contains locations of Local, State, and Federal Government Buildings within the State of Florida, current to 2013. This dataset contains fields denoting the physical address, facility type, and contact information for various types of government buildings. This data is meant to be used for planning purposes only and is not intended to represent a 100% inventory of government buildings in Florida. Government building locations that have been verified are marked with the letter V in the FLAG field. This dataset is an update to the FGDL layer GC_GOVBUILD_JUL09.
Purpose:
The data was created to serve as base information for use in GIS systems for a variety of planning and analytical purposes.
Supplemental_Information:
What is Geocoding? Geocoding is term used to describe the act of address matching. Geocoding is the process of finding a geographic location (x, y point) for an address (such as street number and name, city, state, and ZIP Code) on a map. Geocoding is based off the typical address scheme for the US, in which one side of the street contains even house numbers while the other side of the street contains odd house numbers.
The geocoding process uses an algorithm to find the geographic location of addresses. First, a street segment is identified using the zip code and street name. Next, the geographic location of the address is matched using the building number to determine how far down the street and on which side of the street the building is located.
Geocoding Accuracy The locational accuracy of geocoded addresses may vary from urban to rural areas due to the algorithm used to generate the geographic locations of addresses. The algorithm assumes that the size of parcels are equivalent along a road route. This assumption tends to be more consistent in urban areas, where the size of parcels vary less than in rural areas. Consequently, the results of geocoded addresses in urban areas are usually more reliable than those in rural areas.
For example, the locational accuracy of rural addresses can be slightly off because some parcels along a rural route may be 15 acres while others may be 2.5 acres, but the geocoding algorithm assumes that the addresses are distributed evenly along the route.

GeoPlan downloaded this data in text file format and converted it to a dbf. The dbf was then geocoded against TeleAtlas Roads 2009 and converted into a shapefile with the FGDL Albers HPGN map projection. (See "Map Projection Parameters" below).
Added Fields -Added Socio-Cultural specific data fields OPERATING, OP_CLASS, YR_BUILT, COMMON_USE, etc. -Added DESCRIPT field based on SUBTYPE -Added FLAG field -Added UPDATE_DAY field -Added FGDLAQDAT based on date of last data acquisition

Each government building subtype was examined using the official websites documented above. Points were manually moved to rooftops using Google Maps and Street View technologies to confirm the spatial locations of the facilities. Once a point was moved to the proper location, the corresponding parcel(s) were extracted from the 2010 statewide parcel geodatabase (see gc_govbuildbnd_may12). These parcels were assigned the same GeoPlan ID given to the facility's point. Appropriate attributes were extracted from the parcel database and appended to the attribute tables in the building boundary and building point layers. Points found to be outdated were removed while missing locations were added to the database. Of the remaining 2347 features, 2315 were visually verified.
Once the correct spatial location of the building was established, the LAT_DD, LONG_DD, and usng_fl_1k fields were recalculated. The UPDATE_DAY field was calculated to represent the day of the spatial/attribute update.
*Florida is undergoing a "Driver License Transition Plan" whereby all driver license issuance services are being moved to the county tax collector offices. Some counties have fully made this transition while others are in the process or are still relying on local branches of the Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles to administer vehicle registration and driver license services. It is expected that by 2015 all services will be transferred to the county tax collection offices (<http://www.flhsmv.gov/html/DLTP.pdf>).

A note about data scale:
Scale is an important factor in data usage. Certain scale datasets are not suitable for some project, analysis, or modeling purposes. Please be sure you are using the best available data.
1:24000 scale datasets are recommended for projects that are at the county level. 1:24000 data should NOT be used for high accuracy base mapping such as property parcel boundaries. 1:100000 scale datasets are recommended for projects that are at the multi-county or regional level. 1:125000 scale datasets are recommended for projects that are at the regional or state level or larger.
Vector datasets with no defined scale or accuracy should be considered suspect. Make sure you are familiar with your data before using it for projects or analysis. Every effort has been made to supply the user with data documentation. For additional information, see the References section and the Data Source Contact section of this documentation.
