What is a parcel database?
Land parcel databases, which are also known as cadastres, describe the rights, interests, and value of property. The legal boundaries of land parcels are defined in the deed to a property. A surveyor confirms these measurements anytime the property is subdivided or platted, or in boundary disputes.
How is most parcel boundary coordinate information obtained?
Most parcel boundary coordinate information is obtained through boundary surveys in which the boundary of a parcel of land is located on its legal description and markers at the corners or along the edges of a parcel are located, set, or restored by measuring horizontal and vertical angles (in situ land surveying).
How are land parcels valued?
