In the urban areas, the parcel maps are generally accurate within five to ten feet of their true geographic coordinates, but in the rural areas, the maps may be accurate to only within three hundred feet. Due to the limitations of the mapped information, field studies and information from site inspections may be used to supplement or replace mapped information.
