ArcInfo ArcEDIT was used for this process. Metes and bounds descriptions were used to map parcels where needed. Typically, these were small parcels of 10 acres or less. ArcEdit and ArcCOGO were used for many of these parcels. Particularly, the Mead Lake area, with platted lots surrounding an irregularly-shaped body of water, was COGO digitized as there are few other adequate ways of digitizing to maintain parcel dimensions.
Attribute accuracy is limited primarily to the tax assessment roll link.
The tax parcel GIS layer maintains only the County's parcel ID number. This responsibility lies in the County Treasurer, who also serves as the Real Property Lister. Soon to be included is the State-mandated Parcel ID number. This number is assumed to be the general accuracy of its base map, which was the PLSS lines derived from USGS 24000 scale topographic series maps. Mead township parcels will be updated using this strategy.
