USER NOTES:
GeoPlan relied on the integrity of the attribute information within 
the original data. This table was created using the TAXD records 
for each county. The lack of properly defined township, range and 
section values in some of the counties can cause some data loss 
when creating this table. See the TAXD metadata (FGDL) specific 
to the particular year you are interested in to learn more about inherent 
errors in tax data and those erros specific to each county. TRS values = 
00N00E00 OR 00S00W00 OR 0000000, etc. are records that did not 
have valid TOWNSHIP RANGE and SECTION Values, this was done 
to create a uniform representation for these records. The Florida Keys 
(TAXD0044) records were orginally listed as 01S01E01, this was changed 
to 99S99E99 so not to be  confused with the TRS values (01S01E01) 
found in LEON CO.

A note concerning data scale:

Scale is an important factor in data usage. Certain scale 
datasetsare not suitable for some project, analysis, or
modeling purposes. Please be sure you are using the best
available data.

1:24000 scale datasets are recommended for projects that 
are at the county level.

1:24000 data should NOT be used for high accuracy base 
mapping such as property parcel boundaries.

1:100000 scale datasets are recommended for projects that 
are at the multi-county or regional level.

1:250000 scale datasets are recommended for projects that 
are at the regional or state level or larger.

Vector datasets with no defined scale or accuracy should 
be considered suspect. Make sure you are familiar with 
your data before using it for projects or analyses. Every 
effort has been made to supply the user with data 
documentation. For additional information, see the 
References sectionand the Data Source Contact section of 
this documentation. For more information regarding scale 
and accuracy, see our web pages at:
