Item Information

snippet: Countywide GIS tax parcel layer was created for tax assessment purposes only. these parcels are not intended to indicate either parcel legality or a valid building site. This data has not been prepared for legal, engineering or surveying purposes. This dataset was originally started in July 1997 and completed in December of 1999. This allowed users for the first time to work with a seamless county-wide tax parcel layer, populated by assessor's information. This layer has been an enormous value not only for tax assessment purposes, but for various other County operations as well. The layer is used by a large number of public and private entities as well. Land ownership boundaries are a fundamental dataset of administrative functions. Most County GIS data layers are registered to this Basemap layer. NOTE: The Assessor combines lots and parcels on ownership based on an Assessor defined economic unit, not necessarily on a legal lot. The Assessor also splits lots and parcels divided by TRA boundaries, Assessor Map page breaks, road easement lines, illegal ownership lines, 35+ year leases, some Agricultural Preserve boundaries, and other possible miscellaneous reasons.

description: <DIV STYLE="text-align:Left;"><DIV><DIV><P><SPAN>This layer is a representation of the Santa Barbara County Assessor Parcel maps created for tax assessment purposes only. This layer was originally built in the late 1990's by digitizing Assessor map pages and first rubber sheeting to Assessor book indexes that were COGOed for this project and those indexes to USGS Quadrangle maps and County Flood Control topo maps. In 1998, the Assessor purchased a GPS road centerline to acquire better positional accuracy and the full parcel layer was adjusted. In 2000 the County acquired its first full county digital orthoimagery, which enabled a better ortho rectified control in many areas to improve the accuracy of the Basemap. Overtime, the spatial accuracy of this layer has improved significantly by COGOing entire Assessor Parcel Map pages and new subdivisions then rubber sheeting to those pages. When geodetic control first started showing up on recorded subdivision maps, we were able to start placing COGOed parcels to their exact location. As countywide orthoimagery gets more accurate and the number of Record of Survey and subdivision maps record with geodetic control increases, the greater the positional accuracy of the parcels on this layer will increase. </SPAN></P><P><SPAN>Parcel polygon attributes have been updated to include Assessor property characteristics as well.</SPAN></P><UL><LI><P STYLE="font-size:16pt"><SPAN STYLE="font-weight:bold;font-size:14pt">This is an incremental working update for the assessor's parcels as of April 6th, 2022.
