GeoPlan relied on the integrity of the attribute information within the original data. |
This dataset is derived from county parcel data that was released by the State Departement of Revenue (DOR) in 2003. Within these county parcel datasets is information regarding tax codes in the field 'TAXAUTHCD'. In this field, a value, or id number, is listed that corresponds to a city. Using this field and ArcMap 8.3, the tax code boundaries were mapped and classified according to this tax code id#. These were then traced, and/or digitized, to make a city limit. After the creation of these cities all data was appropiately named and then merged to make one statewide dataset. |
A note concerning data scale: Scale is an important factor in data usage. Certain scale datasetsare not suitable for some project, analysis, or modelling 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.

GeoPlan performed the following steps during the QA/QC Process: -Dissolved and generalized(with an offset equal to 1) tax codes boundaries for the State of Florida from 2003 parcel data using the field 'TAXAUTHCD'. Traced, and/or digitized, tax codes creating homogenous polygons representative of municipality boundaries. Process Date: 20041000 |
