Acquire Method: 2015: Downloaded Parcels (has parcel.shp and Asr-Landuse.dbf) from http://www.ghc-gis.org/info/GIS/download.html. Need ghresmas.txt.

2012: In response to our initial e-mail request, Grays Harbor's GIS Coordinator e-mailed us the link (http://www.co.grays-harbor.wa.us/info/GIS/download.html) to download the data. He informed us that the data sets are current and available to download for updates. We must contact the GIS department to obtain a license agreement to distribute the data.

Database Schema

The normalized Statewide Parcel Database consists of multiple related tables, relationship classes and lookup tables. Detailed information about the database schema can be found on the technical documentation page.

QA/QC

Introduction

QA/QC Process Description

QA/QC Procedure Descriptions

The following five Procedures were performed in this order on the data for each county.
  1. Removing Duplicate Parcels (PARCELS:DUPLICATE): There are two or more polygons representing a single parcel in the original data.  They have the same geometry and identical attribute information.  These are assumed to be multiple copies of the same parcel, and so duplicates are removed leaving a single polygon, and single set of attribute information in the final database.  This flag tells how many duplicates of the parcel were in the original data.
  2. Flattening Stacked Parcels (PARCELS:FLATTENED): There are two or more polygons representing a parcel in the original data, however, while sharing the same geometry, they have different attributes.  These are assumed to be multiple owners for the same parcel.  The polygon only needs to be in the final database a single time, but all original attribute information for the different owners needs to be retained.  This flag tells how many stacked polygons there were in the original data for each parcel.
  3. Creating Multipart Parcels (PARCELS:AGGREGATED): There are two or more polygons in the original data with different geometries but, identical attribute information.  It is assumed that these parcels are all owned by the same owner.  The original polygons are all retained as a single, multipart polygon, but duplicate versions of the attributes are removed.  Only a single copy of the attribute information is needed in the final database.  This flag tells how many parcels were aggregated into each multipart polygon.
  4. Removing Duplicate Taxrolls (TAXROLL:FLATTENED): Two or more parcels in a county have identical taxroll attributes. These attributes only need to be in the final database a single time. This flag records how many of the original parcels shared each set of taxroll attributes.
  5. Removing Duplicate Names (NAMES:FLATTENED): Two or more parcels in a county have the same name attributes in the original data. These attributes only need to be in the final database a single time. This flag records how many of the original parcels shared each set of name attributes.

Data Normalization, Integration and Quality Control Notes

Integration Date: 2009-10-09
Integration Notes: New for 2009:
attributes added
EXEMPTCODE --> TaxStatus
LANDUSE from Asr-Landuse.dbf --> SourceLandUseDescription

attributes changed
LANDUSE2 --> PropertyType instead of SourceLandUseDescription



parcel.shp was run through the ArcGIS Repair Geometry Tool to parcel_repair.shp. 37 parcels were repaired due to self intersections. FME was unable to process this repaired shapefile. Instead, parcel.shp was converted to a coverage using the ArcGIS Feature Class to Coverage tool with an XY tolerance set to 1 foot. The region of the coverage was then copied back to a shapefile using the Feature Class to Feature Class tool. parcel.shp contained 60338 records. The new shapefile, parcel_1ft_tolerance_edit.shp contains 60302. 36 records were removed in the process. These appear to be the parcels with self-intersection problems detected by the Repair Geometry tool.

Parcels in the parcel.shp source data that were aggregated into multi-part features in FME (grouped by SourceParcelID), had identical taxroll attributes, even though the individual source parcels were separate. In particular, total acreage appeared to be for the entire aggregated parcel even though the individual parcel acreages were less. Attibutes appear to be for the aggregated parcel even though the parcels are separate in the shapefile. As a results parcels that were aggegated into multi-part parcels have ProcessTaxRollFlattened values greater than 1.
QAQC Date: 2009-11-17
QAQC Notes: PolyID=414000058815; ProcParcelAggregated=2.
There are 2 parcels with the PARCELATT=150705220020 in the original shapefile (parcel_1ft_tolerance_edit.shp). Parcels aggregated correctly.

PolyID=414000059064; ProcTaxrollFlattened=2.
There are 2 polygons in original shapefile with PARCELATT=201008330010; both polygons have same owner (STATE OF WASHINGTON). Taxroll Flattened correctly.

PolyID=414000041095; ProcNameFlattened=4.
Original data PARCELATT=170705110030,170705110010, 731500001300, 731500001400; 4 records with same owner name/address. Names flattened correctly.
