Current through Register Vol. XLI, No. 28, July 12, 2024
2.1. The
				West Virginia Cable Television Advisory Board (hereinafter the
				"Board") is authorized by W. Va. Code § 5-18-15 to regulate
				rates and charges of cable television systems to the extent allowed
				by federal law. The Congress of the United States established a
				national policy concerning cable communications. ( P.L. 98-549 as
				codified at 47 U.S.C. § 521
et seq.
)
				Subsequently, Congress amended this national policy to allow limited
				regulation of rates and charges by franchising authorities including
				the Board. ( P.L. 102-305 )
				However, the Board must become certified with the Federal
				Communications Commission (hereinafter "FCC") before the Board may
				undertake regulation of rates and charges. ( 47 U.S.C. § 543 )
				Part of the certification criteria is the requirement that the Board
				adopt regulations consistent with the FCC's regulations regarding
				rates subject to regulation under 47 U.S.C. § 543 and that the
				Board adopt regulations regarding rate regulations proceedings which
				provide a reasonable opportunity for the consideration of the views
				of interested parties.

				Thoroughness and accuracy are direct products of a logical and systematic
				approach.

				step-by-step procedure with corresponding instructions for completing the data
				collector's responsibilities. Specific requirements are contained in the
				Residential Data Inventory section of the West Virginia Real Property Appraisal
				manual and are to be followed in the collection of data for residential real
				property. It should be noted that some of the data required in the data
				collection phase, such as property class, card number, property address,
				building sketches, etc., may be transferred from existing records and recorded
				on the new property record card. In these cases, the data requires verification
				and correction only, instead of totally new entries.
4.1.3. The data collector should complete the
				front (or land) side of the property record card first, doing so immediately
				upon finishing the previous card and before approaching the door of the next
				property. Contact is then made and after proper identification and statement of
				purpose, he enters the house for the interior inspection of first floor and
				basement while requesting pertinent data from his contact. Upon leaving the
				house, the data collector completes the required building data on the back (or
				building) side of the card, measurers the exterior, sketches the building,
				checks the card for completeness and proceeds to the next property.

6.1. General
				approach.
6.1.1. The data collector should
				make optimum use of existing appraisal and assessment record available within
				each county. This information should include the current property record cards
				and any other applicable information. The appraisal of commercial/industrial
				properties is a very important phase of every revaluation program.
				Commercial/industrial properties require special consideration because:
6.1.1.1. Many varied uses are
				possible;
6.1.1.2. Many varied
				materials are used in construction.
6.1.1.3. Many varied construction methods are
				used;
6.1.1.4. Their
				income-producing nature requires an additional appraisal approach to be used --
				the Income Approach; and
6.1.1.5.
				Special forms are used to accommodate all of this complex commercial
				data.

Current through Register Vol. XLI, No. 28, July 12, 2024
Tax maps are fundamental to the appraisal (valuation) of
				  real estate. They help to determine the location of property, indicate the size
				  and shape of each parcel, and illustrate its relation to features that affect
				  value. It is, therefore, necessary that the tax maps and assessment system
				  records accurately represent what is actually owned by the taxpayer. Although
				  tax maps serve as a general reference to property locations, they are not a
				  substitute for official survey plats.
West Virginia Code of State Rules › Agency 189 - Property Valuation Training And Procedures Commission › Title 189 - LEGISLATIVE RULE PROPERTY VALUATION TRAINING AND PROCEDURES COMMISSION › Series 189-03 - Statewide Procedures For The Maintenance And Publishing Of Surface Tax Maps › Section 189-3-3 - History

Current through Register Vol. XLI, No. 28, July 12, 2024
County tax maps were originally created on linen or mylar
				  sheets in the 1960' s by the Department of Revenue to aid the assessor in the
				  location and assessment of real estate. Legislation in 1990 created an
				  eleven-member Property Valuation Training and Procedures Commission whose
				  duties included establishing standardized mapping procedures for the county
				  assessors. Later that same year the commission approved procedural rules for
				  the manual maintenance of surface tax maps. In 1995, as part of the Mineral
				  Parcel Mapping Project, the Department of Revenue began the digital compilation
				  of surface parcel boundaries to create mineral parcel maps for all coal bearing
				  lands. Consequently, some county assessors utilized the surface tax parcels
				  from this project to transition their county from a manual to computerized tax
				  mapping system. By 2007, over half of the counties in West Virginia had
				  transitioned to a computerized mapping system, with several counties utilizing
				  geographic information systems to link parcel geometry to assessment databases.
				  During the past decade, three counties chose to re-map their respective
				  counties and create a new parcel identification system to resolve problems
				  arising from extensive development

Current through Register Vol. XLI, No. 28, July 12, 2024
A manual or automated mapping system for assessment purposes
				  includes the following elements: geodetic network, mapping layers, parcel
				  identifiers and attributes.
4.1.
				Geodetic Network. -- The geodetic control layer provides a common reference
				system for establishing coordinate positions of all geographic data. This is
				coordinated and managed by the National Geodetic Survey and provides a
				consistent and uniform definition of coordinate systems, datums and monumented
				points across a jurisdiction.
4.1 .a. Datums.
				-- The horizontal datum shall be the North American Datum of 1983 (NAD83) and
				successive adjustments; the vertical datum shall be the North American Vertical
				Datum of 1988 (NAVD 88).
4.1 .b.
				Coordinate Systems. -- The State Plane Coordinate System (map units in feet) is
				recommended for the input, storage, and exchange of map data. Counties shall
				map in the correct "South Zone" or "North Zone" of the State Plane Coordinate
				System as prescribed in W.Va. Code §
										30-13A-17.
				The Universal Transverse Mercator Coordinate System (map units in meters),
				Geographic Coordinates System (map units in decimal degrees), and other
				coordinate systems and projections may be used to satisfy special
				requirements.

Current through Register Vol. XLI, No. 28, July 12, 2024
Finished surface tax maps show the property and lot lines,
				  set forth dimensions and/or areas, and other cadastral and cultural features
				  that assessors are required by state law to maintain and publish for the
				  public. These scaled tax maps are created by either manual or automated methods
				  in accordance with the cartographic design, map content and layout
				  specifications mandated by the Property Valuation Training and Procedures
				  Commission.

Current through Register Vol. XLI, No. 28, July 12, 2024
Computerization of the map and parcel data enhances the
				  county assessors' capabilities to manage, analyze, summarize, and display
				  geographically referenced information. Digital cadastral map layers and parcel
				  data are easily shared, allowing various users to manipulate and selectively
				  retrieve layers of parcel and other information and to produce composite maps
				  with only the data needed by each. Such sharing also reduces the duplication of
				  effort inherent in separate, possibly incompatible, map systems. See
Standard on Digital Cadastral Maps and Parcel Identifiers
(lAAO 2003).
8.1. Geographic
				Information Systems (GIS). -- The preferred automated mapping system for
				maintaining and publishing digital map and parcel data is a geographic
				information system. It is recommended that a successfully deployed cadastral
				geographic information system meet the following requirements:
8.1.a. Geo-referenced. -- All mapping layers
				are geo-referenced to a common coordinate system.
8.1.b. Edge-matched. -- Parcel polygons are
				seamless across all jurisdictions and tax district boundaries for the entire
				county.
8.1.c. Parcels Linkable to
				Databases. -- Parcel boundary polygons are topologically validated and linkable
				to external assessment databases via unique property identification
				numbers.
8.1.d. Computer-Generated
				Maps. -- Finished tax maps are digitally produced and published in accordance
				with map design and layout rules set forth in this regulation.
8.1.e. Continual Maintenance. -- Tax maps are
				continually maintained in a digital environment.

Current through Register Vol. XLI, No. 28, July 12, 2024
A parcel identification system provides a method for
				  referencing land parcels, or data associated with parcels, using a number or
				  code instead of a complete legal description. The correlation of maps and
				  individual property records requires that all parcel files be indexed using a
				  uniform parcel identifier. Parcel identifiers shall be unique and permanent,
				  changing only when the boundaries of the parcel change, and a new parcel is
				  created.
9.1. Map Based Systems. --
				The map-based system is the primary system of parcel identification in West
				Virginia. Under a map-based system, the assessment map itself is incorporated
				into the parcel identifier. The parcel identifier consists of the concatenated
				county, district number, map number, parcel number and suffix number (for
				example 01-01-0001-0001.0001), which serves to reduce legal descriptions to a
				uniform and more manageable size and is as defensible as the original
				descriptions. Map based identifiers do, to some extent, reference a geographic
				area and are convenient in the field. Problems may arise in this system where
				extensive development is occurring, requiring re-mapping and the assignment of
				new parcel identifiers. However, in stable areas, this system may be
				satisfactory.
9.2. Geographic
				Coordinate Systems. -- The geographic coordinate system uses a direct
				geographic reference to identify the x and y coordinates of a parcel centroid.
				This geographic parcel identifier (GPIN) may be automatically or manually
				generated using computer software. Parcel identification systems using the
				geographic coordinate system shall be based upon the West Virginia State Plane
				Coordinate System as it relates to the aerial photo index grid established by
				the Statewide Addressing and Mapping Board in 2002.

Current through Register Vol. XLI, No. 28, July 12, 2024
In the 1960's, engineering firms arbitrarily created map
				  sheet reference schemes (or county map layout index) for each county in West
				  Virginia by dividing larger areas into smaller tiles or rectangular grids. A
				  typical tiling scheme was established by subdividing each county into tax
				  districts for rural areas and corporations for municipalities, which were then
				  further subdivided into primary map sheets with its own number system (1 to n),
				  usually at 1" = 400' scale. The different types of map sheet reference systems
				  are identified by the following elements: map orientation, uniform tile size,
				  the correlation of the 1" = 400' and 1" = 100' scale index grids, and whether
				  the primary map sheet boundaries / tiling numbering system are delimited by the
				  district or county boundary.
10.1.
				Types of County Map Sheet Reference Systems and their Characteristics.
10.1.a. Random Grid. -- Random orientation of
				tiles; variable tile size; map sheet index grids do not correlate; district
				boundary defines the limits of the primary map sheet boundaries / tiling
				numbering system.
10.1.b. Modified
				Grid. -- Tiles oriented true north; variable tile size; map sheet index grids
				do not correlate; district boundary defines the limits of the primary map sheet
				boundaries / tiling numbering system.
10.1.c. True Grid. -- Tiles oriented true
				north; uniform tile size; map sheet index grids do not correlate. Other
				variations: district boundary or county boundary defines the limits of the
				primary map sheet boundaries / tiling numbering system; map identifiers either
				numeric or alphanumeric; map number system from l to n for each district or
				unique map numbers for the entire county; length and width dimensions of tiles
				varies from county to county.
10.1.d. Subset Grid. -- Tiles oriented true
				north; uniform tile size; map sheet index grids correlate; county boundary
				defines the limits of the primary map sheet boundaries / tiling numbering
				system; map numbers unique for the entire county.
