Metadata originally created 9-12-01

Description: Humboldt County's Parcel Layer Vers. 1.15 to be joined to the Land Information System (LIS) database - LIS3.dbf -.  See LISSTRU2.DOC for LIS documentation.

Creation Date:  March 2003

Produced By: Chinmaya Lewis

Data Type: Polygon Shapefile

Projection: UTM Units Meters

Datum: North American Datum 1927

Starting Product and Date: Numerous.  Back to 1996.

Original Data Source: Started with USGS Public Land Survey (PLS) section lines.

Original Data Scale: 1:24,000

Updates/History/Corrections:  This dataset is the result of an ongoing effort to produce a county wide parcel layer.  Digitizing began as far back as 1996.  More recently - 2000 to 2001 - digitizing effort has been increased in order to complete this dataset.  Many corrections have been made to this dataset, using PLS lines, USGS Quads, Aerial photographs, and other sources where available.  Most topological descrepencies have been corrected in this dataset.  This data 
has been reviewed for spatial accuracy relative to the PLS lines as well as USGS 7.5 quads in some areas.  This is the first version of the Humboldt County Parcel dataset that will need future review and revisions.  This dataset will not be edited until split zoning digitizing effort is complete.Land use attributes - exlu2 & exlu4 - have been added.  Existing Land Use values - exlu4 - were created
using an interpretive method.  Zoning, use codes, land ownership, and other information pertaining to parcels were used to create "existing" land use categories. 
Jan. 2003 - Cities of Eureka and Rio Dell parcels were added to layer.  Orleans and Willow Creek have been
corrected.
March 2003 - Cities of Blue Lake and Fortuna were added to layer.  Hydesville area has been correct using DOQQ's.

Accuracy: 1:24,000 at best.
