Recommendations There are two primary recommendations for the correction and maintenance of Indian River County' s tax parcels : " 1 . Correction of Existing Errors in Spatial Accuracy 2 . Consolidation and Distribution of a Centralized Tax Parcel Layer 3. Implementation of Standards for All Geo-Spatial Data 1 . Correction of Existing Errors in Spatial Accuracy Several County Departments stressed the need to have a more accurate parcel layer. While the County has migrated to an ArcSDE shared database environment for editing parcels , errors in the spatial accuracy of the parcel layer need to be addressed by the GIS Mapping Coordinator and the recommended GIS Director. The Director will need to work with the Community Development Department, the Public Works Department, the Property Appraiser' s Office , and any other relevant departments , to devise and design a plan for correction of existing feature geometry errors in the County ' s parcel data . The County is evaluating the option of obtaining funding from the Florida Department of Revenue ( DOR ) to pursue a control densification base map enhancement project that will increase the accuracy of the parcel base . The County Surveyor is taking the lead on this project, and it is expected that this effort will be coordinated with the GIS Director and the Property Appraiser' s GIS Mapping Coordinator to ensure that all necessary issues have been properly addressed . This project will require GPS-based control point collection and analysis—these control points will form the basis for subsequent " rubbersheeting " that will be applied to the tax parcel layer ( as well as other base map layers , including the streets layer) . It should be noted that Florida laws governing field-based GIS data collection and development require oversight by a qualified land surveyor that is registered by the State. In light of this requirement, the County Surveyor/ GIS Director will need to ensure that the appropriate and necessary technical oversight is in place to ensure that field- collected /developed data conforms to the State ' s best practices . As part of this initiative , the GIS Director should determine a timeline for rectifying errors on the enterprise geodatabase layer. County personnel should be consulted and utilized as much as possible in this effort . It is likely that this effort will be time consuming and resource intensive—therefore , it is recommended that the County explore the possibility of outsourcing this work to a consultant or other third party. In addition to the correction of errors, additional attributes may need to be added to the County ' s parcel data . Although it is impractical to add certain attributes to the parcel data , given that other jurisdictions may eventually utilize this data , the County and local organizations that will use the tax parcel layer should identify attributes that would prove to be mutually beneficial (e .g . , " Inside City " or a secondary key that links to a specific records management system ) . Should such an effort be initiated , t is recommended that Indian River County work together with local cities and regional government organizations to create a data dictionary for the County ' s parcel data . 2. Consolidation and Distribution of a Centralized Tax Parcel Laver As aforementioned , several County departments , including the Community Development and Public Works departments, manage and maintain derivative ( duplicate) copies of the fax parcel layer maintained by the Property Appraiser' s Office .
