This data is not intended to replace the hardcopy assessment maps or any other official or unofficial county maps, and it is not to be construed as portraying legal ownership or divisions of land for purposes of zoning or subdivision law.

This feature class includes all private, tax-exempt, and state-assessed land parcels listed on the secured tax roll, but does not include mineral rights (subsurface) parcels, mobilehomes, or unsecured entities.
