| Abstract | This data set contains parcel points. In 1986, parcels were digitized from hand drawn 1:2400 half and 1:1200 quarter section maps. In 1995, the parcel data layer was converted to ArcINFO format and held in the ArcStorm data base. Parcel points [PARPTS] were converted in 2005 to an ESRI ArcGIS GeoDatabase. Computed parcel point information was integrated into the parcel data layer by utilizing calculated positions derived from coordinate geometry programs. The parcel boundaries (points, lines and polygons) represents property descriptions (legal descriptions) and land ownership. Parcel Line is used to construct polygons. Polygons represent individual tracts or parcels of land (now called ParComp). One or more polygons form Parcels (formerly known as Regions), which represent parcel ownership boundaries. A twelve character property identification number (PIN) is assigned to both polygons and regions. The PIN is used as a primary link to county tax and assessment data. |

| Section 2 | Data Quality Information | Top of full metadata | Top of page | |
| Attribute Accuracy | Attributes held within the GIS graphical data base are manually entered by GIS personnel. There are check plots produced to verify information. Line symbology is periodically checked by automated programs to verify consistency. Attributes produced by the Ramsey County Records and Revenue Department such as names, taxpayers, values etc., are not created or managed by GIS personnel. This information is extracted separately and in most cases joined to the graphical GIS parcel data set. This data set has not been verified by GIS personnel. |
|||
| Logical Consistency | Since this point element not intended to create topology, logical consistency regarding topology does not apply. The points are generally centered on the parcel regions. There is a general one-to-one relation between parcel ownership and parcel points. |
|||
| Completeness | Entire Ramsey County coverage | |||
| Horizontal Positional Accuracy | Digitized information is generally ± 7 feet; some areas have been found to be ± 30 feet. COGO (coordinate geometry) accuracy generally is ± 1.0 foot. | |||
| Lineage | PROCEDURE: This layer contains a combination of digitized parcel information and parcel data rectified utilizing positions calculated with COGO programs. MAP SOURCE: Digitized from 1 inch = 200 feet 1/2 section maps. ACCURACY: Digitized information is generally ± 7 feet; some areas have been found to be ± 30 feet. COGO (coordinate geometry) accuracy generally is ± 1.0 foot. PROJECTION: Ramsey County Coordinate System |
