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.

DEPARTMENT OF BUSINESS AND PROFESSIONAL REGULATION LICENSEE DOWNLOAD FILES SITE DISCLAIMER

Under Chapter 119, Florida Statutes, the Department of Business and Professional Regulation (DBPR) is required to make available for inspection and copying any public record regardless of physical format which is not otherwise exempted from public access by general law. To fulfill this obligation, the Department provides copies of electronic records to the public through this free download site.

The Department is only required to provide data in the format in which they are maintained and, as a result, does not provide paper copies of this information. In addition, the Department is not required to reformat its records to meet a requestor's particular needs.

Section 119.083(4), F.S., requires only that the agency provide electronic data in some common format such as, but not limited to, the American Standard Code for Information Interchange (ASCII) text format. Therefore, the download files provided from this site are formatted as ASCII text, quote/comma delimited.

Due to this, it is important that requestors know the following information before downloading a file:

- The Department does not offer technical support during or after the download process. Please refer to your software manuals, Corporate Help Desk, or Internet Service Provider for any assistance you require;

- File size may be larger than the space available on your computer; if so free up additional space before attempting the download;

- Some features such as tabs, font selection, and graphics may be lost when converting a file to ASCII text;

Files require Windows 3.1 and a 486 or higher computer and may not be compatible with Macintosh or Apple computer systems;

The Department is not responsible for damages sustained to existing user data, software, and/or hardware from data obtained through the download process; and

Although data are refreshed weekly, system maintenance may delay the updating of files. To determine the timeliness of data, please refer to the date posted.

A note concerning data scale:

Scale is an important factor in data usage. Certain scale 
datasetsare 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.

1:250000 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 analyses. Every 
effort has been made to supply the user with data 
documentation. For additional information, see the 
References sectionand the Data Source Contact section of 
this documentation. For more information regarding scale 
and accuracy, see our web pages at:

DATA LINEAGE SUMMARY:
Mobile home locations and information were obtained from the 
online MyFlorida site in 2006 
www.state.fl.us/dbpr/sto/file_download/download_files.shtml. 
GeoPlan downloaded this data in EXCEL format and converted it to a 
dbf.  The dbf was then geocoded against ARC Logistics Route 
GDT Roads and converted into a shapefile with the FGDL Albers 
HPGN map projection. (See "Map Projection Parameters" below).
-Added Descript field based on PRJ_NAME.
-Added FGDLAQDATE based on the date FGDL acquired the 
data from the Source.
Process Date: 20060601
