USER NOTES:
GeoPlan relied on the integrity of the attribute information within the original data.

A note concerning data scale:

Scale is an important factor in data usage. Certain scale 
datasetsare not suitable for some project, analysis, or
modelling purposes. Please be sure you are using the best
available data.

1:24000 scale datasets are recommended for projects that 
are at the county level.

1:24000 data should NOT be used for high accuracy base 
mapping such as property parcel boundaries.

1:100000 scale datasets are recommended for projects that 
are at the multi-county or regional level.

1:250000 scale datasets are recommended for projects that 
are at the regional or state level or larger.

Vector datasets with no defined scale or accuracy should 
be considered suspect. Make sure you are familiar with 
your data before using it for projects or analyses. Every 
effort has been made to supply the user with data 
documentation. For additional information, see the 
References sectionand the Data Source Contact section of 
this documentation. For more information regarding scale 
and accuracy, see our web pages at:

DATA LINEAGE SUMMARY:

GeoPlan used the available 61-county 2003 parcel tax data
records gathered from the State Department of Revenue 
(DOR) to create the church parcel shapefile. Parcels 
were selected based on their use-code value (ucold and ucnew). 
The use-code of 71  Churches  were selected out for both 
old and new uses.  The data sets containing the final selections 
were merged together and select field were removed.

- Reprojected to Albers HPGN from State Plane 1983
- Added a DESCRIPT field based on PARCELNO
