USER NOTES:

-All data is in DBASE DBIV format.

-Some counties were received with poorly defined items. We could not derive TRS (Township Range Section) for the following counties: Washington, Escambia, Walton

-Escambia County has Item names somewhat different than the rest of the counties. It has few changes and no DESCRIPTION due to lack of confidence in the data. This dataset is shipped As Is
