The type of parcel reference system is determined by the primary map scale (usually 1”=400’ scale) configuration for rural maps and its relationship to urban areas (usually 1”=100’ scale).

TITLE 189 Procedural Rules (1990) These guidelines are obsolete and have been superseded by the new standard effective 2009 SERIES 3 Guidelines for Neat, Final Manual Drafting of Surface Tax Maps • SERIES 4Statewide Procedures • for the • Manual Maintenance • of • Surface Tax Maps WVAGP Tax Map Workshop
Why revise 1990 Tax Map Standard? • More Current: Provides guidelines for digital mapping technologies which have become prevalent in the past decade. • Clarification: Enhances the previous rules that define the uniform statewide procedures for the maintenance and publishing of surface tax maps. • National Standards: Conforms to national cadastral mapping standards set forth by the International Association of Assessing Officers and Federal Geographic Data Committee. WVAGP Tax Map Workshop
Tax Map Advisory Committee(2007) • PURPOSE: Provide recommendations for updating the WV Code of State Rules relative to the maintenance, publishing, and sale of surface tax maps. • RECOMMENDATION: Repeal and replace existing procedural rules with new guidelines for both manual and digital mapping Report Link: http://www.wvgis.wvu.edu/resources/standardsGuidelines/Tax_map_committee_report_7Jan07.pdf WVAGP Tax Map Workshop

Committee Report (FAQ) Will the revised tax map rules mandate that all counties create digital tax maps? No. The revised tax mapping rules allow county assessors to create tax maps using either manual or automated procedures. WVAGP Tax Map Workshop
Committee Report (FAQ) Will the revised tax map rules cost the counties more money? No. If county assessors are in compliance with the existing tax map rules, then the newly revised rules should not cost the counties any additional funds. Counties may choose to incur additional costs when upgrading their mapping systems, such as transitioning from a manual to digital system. WVAGP Tax Map Workshop
Committee Report (FAQ) In the revised rules are parcel dimensions still required to be displayed on surface tax maps? Yes. In accordance with WV Code §11-1C-7(e), property and lot lines and their respective identifiers, dimensions or areas, and other parcel information must be properly annotated on every tax map. WVAGP Tax Map Workshop
Committee Report (FAQ) Will the revised tax map rules change the procedures defining the map content, annotation, symbols, or map design that have been the standard for “finished” printed maps since 1990? No. The map content, design, and layout for printed tax maps or print-ready images of tax maps will remain the same. The same uniform standard for maintaining and publishing “finished” printed tax maps is still applicable, whether the maps are created manually or electronically. WVAGP Tax Map Workshop
Digital Landbase Reference • A finished tax map is a digitized reference to the legal cadastre, specifically, a reference to the source documents that describe the intent of the on-ground cadastre • A finished tax map is not the official cadastre of record – only a reference to it. A digital landbase does not define land tenure boundaries. • Example: Assessor's Parcel Map used for taxation. These maps should not be used as the basis for engineering and construction which determines the location of built features ("fixed works") WVAGP Tax Map Workshop

What Constitutes a GIS Program? • Parcel and base map layers referenced to a common coordinate system (i.e., State Plane, UTM, Lat./Long.) • Map layers have topology (i.e. mathematically closed polygons). Important for spatial analysis and linking to parcel attribute data. • Linked to a copy of external databases (e.g. CAMA/IAS). Important for attribute queries. • Seamless (countywide) • Parcel splits / maintenance in a digital environment (contracted / outsourced or in house) • Print-ready tax map books (JPEG, PDF format) submitted to WV DTR and available to public WVAGP Tax Map Workshop

Related data layers Structures Boundaries Streets Parcels LandUse Environmental Considerations • Data is organized by layers, with each layer representing a common feature. • Layers are integrated using explicit location on the earth’s surface, thus geographical location is the organizing principal. “The Real World” WVAGP Tax Map Workshop

GIS = Parcel Features + Database • GIS are a combination of geographic data and attribute data • Parcel polygons are the spatial features • CAMA/IAS records are the attributes • GIS allow two key types of functionality • Point at a graphic feature and retrieve attributes • Query attributes and see graphic result of query on a map WVAGP Tax Map Workshop
Topology (spatial relationships) • How to model spatial relationships • Parcels cannot overlap one another • Building footprints must not overlap parcels • Parcel lines cannot have dangles Error / Validation Checks WVAGP Tax Map Workshop
