This shapefile contains tax rate area (TRA) boundaries in Kern County for the specified assessment roll year. Boundary alignment is based on the 2020 county parcel map. A tax rate area (TRA) is a geographic area within the jurisdiction of a unique combination of cities, schools, and revenue districts that utilize the regular city or county assessment roll, per Government Code 54900. Each TRA is assigned a six-digit numeric identifier, referred to as a TRA number. TRA = tax rate area number

Historically the oldest rural subdivisions in the Bakersfield vicinity were called Sales Maps Lands of J. B. Haggin or Sales Map Lands of the Kern County Land Company. The parcel layer presently does not capture this information in any consistent manor for those General Plan Area parcels that still retain Sale Map Land designations as their legal description. These parcels were developed by heads-up digitizing georeferenced Sales Maps so positioning is only approximate except for those otherwise indicated on the Quality attirbute.

Pursuant to Section 51237 of the State of California Government Code, agricultural preserve boundaries are filed and kept current by the Planning and Natural Resources Department.This layer contains the boundaries for the agricultural preserves for the County of Kern. "An agricultural preserve defines the boundary of an area within which a city or county will enter into contracts with landowners. The boundary is designated by resolution of the board of supervisors (board) or city council (council) having jurisdiction. Only land located within an agricultural preserve is eligible for a Williamson Act contract. Preserves are regulated by rules and restrictions designated in the resolution to ensure that the land within the preserve is maintained for agricultural or open space use (California Dept. of Conservation)."This should be used with the "agricultural preserve included" layer to determine what property is eligible for a Williamson Act contract.
