Description:

Abstract: The active tax parcel boundaries for all of Tompkins County for a given year. The boundaries represent the one-to-one match with the parcel boundaries shown on the final paper maps for a given year.

Purpose: The parcel boundaries represent legal descriptions of property ownership, as recorded in various public documents in the Tompkins County Clerk's Office.

Supplemental_Information: Properties that are tracked by an account number (utilities, railroads, etc.) may be shown as several separate tax parcel boundaries, with different tax map print keys, even though they are tracked in the Real Property Services (RPS) database under the same account number and treated as one single parcel. The parcel region will show these account-number properties as one tax parcel boundary, while the printkey region will show each separate tax parcel boundary that is a part of the account number. As of 2000, the tax parcel boundaries have not been edge-matched by municipality, except for Villages within their respective Town. This shapefile data set is derived from the printkey region of all tax parcel data sets in Tompkins County and is maintained as a shapefile because it can be manipulated much faster in ArcView than an Arc/Info data set. All Individual Tompkins County Tax Parcels can be found in PDF Format: <http://www.tompkins-co.org/gis/maps/tax.html> In addition, New York State GIS also has Tompkins County Tax Parcel Information: <http://www.nysgis.state.ny.us/repository/counties/tompkins.htm>

Currentness_Reference: The data represents an entire tax year, which begins July 1st of the previous tax year and ends June 30th of the current tax year. (For example, taxparcels2000 would represent the 2000 tax year roll, from July 1, 1999 to June 30, 2000). The data is "published" each July 1st as a "frozen file" in conjunction with a "frozen file" for the Real Property Services (RPS) database.

Data_Quality_Information

Attribute_Accuracy:

Attribute_Accuracy_Report: See Entity and Attribute Information

Logical_Consistency_Report: The Printkey region from each municipality's tax map data set is appended into one County-wide data set. This data set's topology is then created using the CLEAN command, then converted to an ArcView shapefile. All error checking is done in the source data sets.

Completeness_Report: Complete coverage for entire County.

Positional_Accuracy:

Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy:

Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy_Report: Varies, depending on source of parcel boundary (survey, deed, aerial photo, raw conversion from paper maps). The accuracy of the data set is limited to the accuracy of the 1991 Tompkins County Planimetric Base Map series.

Vertical_Positional_Accuracy:

Vertical_Positional_Accuracy_Report: The accuracy of the data set is limited to the accuracy of the 1991 Tompkins County Planimetric Base Map series.

Lineage:

Process_Step:

Process_Description: Tax parcel boundaries were initially maintained manually on mylar originals, using erasable ink. In 1991, a series of planimetric base data sets were produced from aerial photography, and are now referred to as the 1991 Tompkins County Digital Planimetric Base Map. The tax parcel mylar maps were digitized using MapGrafix and referenced to the 1991 Tompkins County Digital Planimetric Base Map. In 1997, the MapGrafix data sets for the City of Ithaca and the Towns of Caroline and Danby were approved by the New York State Office of Real Property Services (NYS ORPS). In 1998, the Map Grafix data sets were converted to Arc/Info for the City of Ithaca, Towns of Caroline, Danby, Dryden, and Ithaca, and the Villages of Cayuga Heights, Dryden, and Freeville. In 1999, the Towns of Enfield, Groton, Lansing, Newfield, and Ulysses, and the Villages of Groton, Lansing, and Trumansburg were converted to Arc/Info. Beginning with the 1999 tax year, all tax parcel boundaries are maintained in Arc/Info, all tax maps are printed using ArcView, and all tax maps are archived digitally using Adobe Acrobat, as well as the traditional paper archival. During the transition period from paper to digital maps, parcel boundaries are approximate, except for those boundaries that have been input using paper surveys and legal descriptions. The tax parcel data sets consist of three groups of layers: boundary layers, text layers, and region layers. The boundary layers consist of those Arc/Info feature classes upon which the region layers are created. Boundary layers include the nodes, arcs, and polygons. Parcel boundaries are changed by first modifying the arc and node layers, and updating the arc attributes. Next, the polygons are re-created and their attributes are updated. The text layers are then updated to reflect the boundary changes. Finally, the regions are created from the polygons using polygon attributes and the Arc/Info REGIONDISSOLVE command. The text layers are Arc/Info annotation layers and include acreage, block, dimension, non-roll section 1 (exempt/utility/state lands), lot, Military Tract/Watkins and Flint Purchase, municipality, place, road name, special district, tax map, tic mark, and water text, as it appears on the printed tax parcel maps. The region layers include deed book/page, municipal, parcel, printkey, and tax map regions. The printkey regions from each of the municipal data sets for the current tax year are then combined into a county-wide data set, which is then converted to an ArcView shapefile. Regions for special districts are derived from polygon attributes in the same manner as the other regions, for each municipality, then combined into a County-wide special districts data set. Regions for public lands are similiarly combined and converted into a County-wide public lands data set.

Entity_and_Attribute_Information

Entity_Type:

Entity_Type_Label: TAXPARCELS

Entity_Type_Definition: Polygons provide the basis for all other area layers (regions), which are produced from attributes of the polygons. The polygons are the source layer for information about the accuracy of the area boundaries.

Attributes:

Name	Description	Values
AREA	Polygon Area (Internal Software Attribute, in Map Units)	Unspecified
PERIMETER	Polygon Boundary Perimeter (Internal Software Attribute, in Map Units)	Unspecified
ParcelKey	Real Property Services (RPS) Database parcel key (Swis-Section-Block-Lot or SSBL). This field is updated yearly based on the GIS extract of the final-roll RPS database. This field can be used to relate to the RPS database.	Unspecified
PrintKey	Real Property Services database print key (Section-Block-Lot or S-B-L).	Unspecified
AccountNum	Real Property Services (RPS) Database account number, which is used to uniquely identify railroad, state-owned, and utility properties. The original values were extracted directly from the RPS database. This field is updated automatically when the region layers are created using the PARCREGS.aml Macro.	Unspecified
Swis	State SWIS code for the municipality in which the parcel is located (not necessarily the same as the SWIS code in which the polygon is located - see POLYSWIS field).
SwisPrintK	Concatenation of SWIS code, "-", and the PRINTKEY field, for those polygons without an account number (ie, a blank ACCOUNTNUM), or a concatenation of SWIS code, "-", and the ACCOUNTNUM field, for those polygons with an account number. This field is easily reproducible within the Real Property Services database extract, and is used as the primary relate (key) field to the RPS extract from the parcel data sets. This field is used to create the Print Key region in this data set.	Unspecified
CalcAcres	Calculated Acreage (AREA / 43560)	Unspecified
RpsAcres	Real Property Services (RPS) acreage, extracted from the RPS database. This acreage will reflect the total acreage of the parcel, which is not necessarily the same area as the polygon.	Unspecified
LongDD	Longitude (X-coordinate), in decimal degrees, of the main parcel centroid (ie, the polygon centroid coded with PRCLTEXT equal to MP or SP).	Unspecified
LatDD	Lattitude (Y-coordinate), in decimal degrees, of the main parcel centroid (ie, the polygon centroid coded with PRCLTEXT equal to MP or SP).	Unspecified
Inset	Inset Location for paper map. Main map area will always be 0, with insets numbered 1 and above. For maps without an inset, the inset number will be 0. This field will be used to generate an inset region, if it deemed as necessary.	Unspecified
