Description
Parcels for the entire county. Source: COGO COGO is a computer program that is used to calculate coordinate geometry. It is used to solve the geometric problems encountered in civil engineering applications including: property boundary and right of way surveys, highway and interchange design, construction layout, and bridge geometry. Research Data Curation Program, UC San Diego, La Jolla, 92093-0175 (https://lib.ucsd.edu/rdcp) Data Usage: This map/data is provided without warranty of any kind, either expressed or implied, including but not limited to, the implied warranties of merchantability and fitness for a particular purpose. Please acknowledge SanGIS as a source when SanGIS data are used in the preparation of reports, papers, publications, maps, and other products. Data is generalized and created for use in regional projects. Please refer to SanGIS data end user use agreement and disclaimer which is available on the SanGIS website (https://gis.sangis.org/sanportal/apps/storymaps/stories/d26146d84e834ff6bcd58e4e620a983a). For additional information and most current data, please visit https://www.sangis.org/. SanGIS used legal recorded data provided by the County Recorders and Assessor's Office. See the County ARCC website at https://www.sdarcc.gov/content/arcc/home.html for more information about tax parcels. Parcels shown in this layer may lag the official Assessor Parcel Map due to timing of data transmissions and publication schedules. Please note that land use, zoning and property description fields are not regularly maintained and should only be used as an approximate guide. Please refer to city and County official zoning datasets for official zoning information, and to SANDAG for more current land use data. While they constantly seek to improve accuracy, SanGIS is not a replacement for the services and products of a Licensed Land Surveyor for ground data. SanGIS creates and maintains parcels to aid the County Assessor's Office for TAX PURPOSES. The data CANNOT be used in place of the legal description of a property-legal descriptions are the purview of a Licensed Land Surveyor. Additional note on Parcels: There are over 1 million parcels in the SanGIS database, and much of the data (and inaccuracies inherent therein) is old and unverified. SanGIS editors can only adjust parcel boundaries in specific areas where a licensed survey has been completed with the use of control points recorded in NAD 83 State Plane. Therefore, the accuracy of data varies. San Diego Geographic Information Source (SanGIS) (2024). Parcels, San Diego County, California, 2012. In San Diego County GIS Data. UC San Diego Library Digital Collections https://doi.org/10.6075/J0668DF6 Description of contents: shp -- Main file; a direct access, variable-record-length file in which each record describes a shape with a list of its vertices. shx -- Index file; In the index file, each record contains the offset of the corresponding main file record from the beginning of the main file. The index file (.shx) contains a 100-byte header followed by 8-byte, fixed-length records. dbf -- dBASE Table file; a constrained form of DBF that contains feature attributes with one record per feature. The one-to-one relationship between geometry and attributes is based on record number. Attribute records in the dBASE file must be in the same order as records in the main file. sbn -- Part 1 of spatial index for read-write instances of the Shapefile format. If present, essential for correct processing. sbx -- Part 2 of spatial index for read-write instances of the Shapefile format. If present, essential for correct processing. prj -- Projections Definition file; stores coordinate system information. xml -- contains metadata, as used by ArcGIS
