TITLE: RIGHT OF WAY PARCELS IN FLORIDA - 2017

Geodataset Name:       PAR_ROW_2017
Geodataset Type:       SDE Feature Class
Geodataset Feature:    Polygon
Feature Count:         34120
GENERAL DESCRIPTION:
This data set contains right of way parcel data from 67 individual counties obtained through the State of Florida Department of Revenue (DOR) 2017 tax data. Please Note: This layer has not been ground-truthed and should not be the sole data source used to identify ROW locations. There are known errors in this layer where parcels included may not physically include a ROW site. Some parcels identified in this layer have been assigned their land use designation based on the owner of the property rather than their current use. In such cases, these lots may actually be vacant and/or used for parking or other purposes related to the owner. This layer is an update of the previously released FGDL layer " PAR_ROW_10".

The MGRS provides a means to represent any location on the surface of the Earth using an alphanumeric string. Hierarchical references are based on the Universal Transverse Mercator (UTM) coordinate system. The MGRS is used for the entire earth. http://mgrs-data.org/

The Florida Geographic Data Library is a collection of Geospatial Data
compiled by the University of Florida GeoPlan Center with support from
the Florida Department of Transportation. GIS data available in FGDL is
collected from various state, federal, and other agencies (data sources)
who are data stewards, producers, or publishers. The data available in
FGDL may not be the most current version of the data offered by the
data source. University of Florida GeoPlan Center makes no guarantees
about the currentness of the data and suggests that data users check
with the data source to see if more recent versions of the data exist.

Furthermore, the GIS data available in the FGDL are provided 'as is'.
The University of Florida GeoPlan Center makes no warranties, guaranties
or representations as to the truth, accuracy or completeness of the data
provided by the data sources. The University of Florida GeoPlan Center

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 67-county 2017 parcel tax data
records gathered from the State Department of Revenue 
(DOR) to create the right of way parcel shapefile.
Parcels were selected based on their use-code value. The use-code 
of '094' (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.
