Description: <DIV STYLE="text-align:Left;"><DIV><DIV><P><SPAN>This dataset contains certain information that has not been authorized for release to the general public. This data is for use of the SanGIS JPA member users only.</SPAN></P><P><SPAN>Parcels represent taxable pieces of property. A parcel is created by the San Diego County Assessor/Recorder/County Clerk (ARCC) to identify a specific portion of real property that is taxed at a certain rate for a certain owner. Tax parcels are typically the same as a legally subdivided lot but are not necessessarily so. For example, a single owner may own a legally subdivided piece of property but there may be two or more tax parcels covering that property. Legal subdivisions are shown in the LOTS layer.</SPAN></P><P><SPAN>The complete SanGIS parcel layer (PARCELS_ALL) contains “stacked” parcels. That means that for any piece of ground there may be multiple parcels - for example, a condominium building may have 200 individual parcels representing each condo and a geospatial analysis would show multiple polygons and caluculate multiple areas for a single area of ground. This dataset provides a one-to-one correspondence between a polygon and a tax parcel. For each property there will be only one parcel associated with the polygon. This provides for better calculations when determining areas and other geospatial analysis.</SPAN></P><P><SPAN>Only one set of parcel data is associated with each polygon. However, the parcel data is programatically selected and may not be consistent from one publication date to another. Also, the parcel data shown may or may not represent the "parent" parcel. Not all Assessor Parcel Numbers (APNs) will be found in this dataset.</SPAN></P><P><SPAN>Parcels in this dataset are keyed to the parcel polygon identifier (PARCELID).</SPAN></P><P><SPAN>This dataset contains parcels as shown on the Assessor Parcel Maps (APM). However, parcels shown in this layer may lag that of the official APM by a number of weeks due to how SanGIS is notified of the newly created parcel and the timing of publication of the parcel layer.</SPAN></P><P><SPAN>This dataset contains the parcel polygon and associated parcel information provided by the County ARCC in thier Master Property Record (MPR file) and Parcel Assessment Record (PAR file). In addition to the MPR and PAR data assigned by ARCC, SanGIS may add situs address information if it has been provided by the addressing authority in which the parcel is situated. The situs address information provided by SanGIS may not be the same as the SITUS address data in the MPR.</SPAN></P><P><SPAN>This dataset contains site address information along with owner names and addresses, and other property information. Key fields in this dataset include:</SPAN></P><P><SPAN>Land use information provided in the NUCLEUS_USE_CD field (225 types with a 3-digit domain). The ASR_LANDUSE field is an older version of this field but comprises more generalized land uses (91 types). </SPAN></P><P><SPAN>Generalized land use zoning information is provided in the NUCLEUS_ZONE_CD field. The ASR_ZONE field is an older version of this field. Land use zoning is generalized comprising 9 zone types. This can provide a useful approximation for parcels that are outside of the San Diego City and County zoning jurisdictions. </SPAN></P><P><SPAN>Please note that land use and zoning fields are not regularly maintained by the Assessor's Office and should only be used as an approximate guide. Updates are only made when there is new construction, or a change in ownership. They are not updated when the County and Local Cities update their zoning data or when permit changes to properties are completed. Please refer to city and County official zoning datasets for official zoning information, and to SANDAG for more current land use data. NOTE: If the name of this layer includes "_NORTH", "_SOUTH", or "_EAST" it represents a subset of the entire San Diego County Parcel Base. That is, the "_NORTH" layer includes only parcels generally in the Northwestern portion of the County. The "_SOUTH" layer includes parcels in the Southwestern portion. And the "_EAST" layer includes parcels in the approximate Eastern half of the County.</SPAN></P><P><SPAN /></P><P><SPAN><SPAN>While we constantly seek to improve accuracy, SanGIS are not a replacement for the services and products of a Licensed Land Surveyor for ground data. SanGIS creates and maintains parcels to aid the County Assessor’s Office for TAX PURPOSES. Our data CANNOT be used in place of the legal description of a property—legal descriptions are the pervue of a Licensed Land Surveyor.</SPAN></SPAN></P><P><SPAN>Additional note on Parcels: There are over 1 million parcels in the SanGIS database, and much of the data (and inaccuracies inherent therein) is old and unverified. SanGIS editors can only adjust parcel boundaries in specific areas where a licensed survey has been completed with the use of control points recorded in NAD 83 State Plane. Therefore, the accuracy of data varies</SPAN></P></DIV></DIV></DIV>
