USER NOTES:
This data is provided 'as is'. GeoPlan relied on the integrity
of the original data layer's topology
This data set contains right of way parcel data from 67 individual 
counties obtained through the state DOR 2005 tax data and the state 
DOR 2003 tax data (Santa Rosa, and Sumter).
GeoPlan relied on the integrity of the attribute information within
the original data.

The data was created to serve as base information for use in GIS
systems for a variety of planning and analytical purposes.

This data is provided 'as is' and its horizontal positional accuracy
has not been verified by GeoPlan

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. For more information regarding
scale and accuracy, see our webpage at:

DATA LINEAGE SUMMARY:
GeoPlan used the available 65-county 2005 parcel tax data
records gathered from the State Department of Revenue 
(DOR) to create the right of way parcel shapefile and in the 
absence of DOR 2005 parcel tax data, GeoPlan used
the available 2003 parcel tax data for the following 
2 counties: Santa Rosa, and Sumter. Parcels
were selected based on their use-code value. The use-code 
of 94  Right of way  were selected out.  The data set contains 
the final selections from the original dataset with selected fields 
removed and Socio-Cultural Effect fields and attribute definitions added.

- Reprojected to FGDL Albers HPGN from various State Planes- NAD83 
  (East, North, and West)
- Added a AYRBLT field and populated it using a separate parcel data table
  via a table join.
- Added a DESCRIPT field based on USE_TYPE
Process Date: 20060921

The original shapefile had 15635 records. These records were loaded to an SDE GeoDatabase. During the load 141 records were rejected (99.1% of the records were loaded successfully). Process Date: 20061012
