Our old boundaries were strictly based on section lines and text rather than maps and we have some lively discussions regarding the accuracy. IMO, if a parcel pays taxes to a specific district, shouldn't the district line follow the parcel line? Anyone else experiencing this?</SPAN></P></BODY></HTML> Tue, 19 May 2015 20:27:44 GMT https://community.esri.com/t5/state-local-government-questions/hand-drawn-district-boundaries-vs-gis/m-p/518659#M3313 KrisGilbert1 2015-05-19T20:27:44Z Re: Hand-drawn district boundaries vs GIS? https://community.esri.com/t5/state-local-government-questions/hand-drawn-district-boundaries-vs-gis/m-p/518660#M3314 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P>Our district lines also follow the section lines.&nbsp; We leave them on the section line and the parcel's district is determined on&nbsp; a case by case basis, usually by where the house is.&nbsp; If the district boundary bisects smaller lots very often the recorder or auditor will put every other lot in each of the two districts.&nbsp; I will then symbolize the parcels using their tax district.</P></BODY></HTML> Tue, 19 May 2015 20:35:00 GMT https://community.esri.com/t5/state-local-government-questions/hand-drawn-district-boundaries-vs-gis/m-p/518660#M3314 JeffWard 2015-05-19T20:35:00Z
