This dataset is designed to represent and identify the property boundaries in Lexington-Fayette County. The original dataset was created in late 1990's by a third party that converted existing paper maps to digital GIS files. The data has since been updated by georeferencing recorded plats for corrections and new additions. In cases where the plats do not appear accurate, aerial photos are utilized in attempt to properly locate the property lines. The only except for this process are changes to highway right-of-way in which calls are run from deeds. The geometry of this data is not of survey quality and should not be used for survey purposes. The data is intended for general reference purposes only.As part of the basemap data layers, the parcel boundary map layer is an integral part of the Lexington Fayette-Urban County Government Geographic Information System. Basemap data layers are accessed by personnel in most LFUCG divisions for basic applications such as viewing, querying, and map output production. More advanced user applications may focus on thematic mapping, summarization of data by geography, or planning purposes (including defining boundaries, managing assets and facilities, integrating attribute databases with geographic features, spatial analysis, and presentation output).

This dataset is designed to represent and identify the final development plan boundaries in Lexington-Fayette County, Kentucky. This feature class is created and maintained by the Lexington-Fayette Urban County Government (LFUCG) GIS office staff by selecting the parcels involved in the development plan from the LFUCG master parcel feature class, merging them together, and adding the appropriate attribution. Whena new development plan is an amendment to previous plans, the latest existing plan is copy and pasted and hte attributes are updated with the new information.

Individual properties listed in the National Park Service's National Register of Historic Places for Lexington-Fayette County, Kentucky. The National Register of Historic Places is the official list of the Nation's historic places worthy of preservation. Authorized by the National Historic Preservation Act of 1966, the National Park Service's National Register of Historic Places is part of a national program to coordinate and support public and private efforts to identify, evaluate, and protect America's historic and archeological resources.This GIS dataset was created by the LFUCG GIS Office on behalf of the LFUCG Division of Historic Preservation based on National Register nominations. Boundaries may contain an entire parcel or only a buffer around a specific building.The national register of historic places property boundary data layer is an integral part of the planning data in the Lexington-Fayette-Urban County Government Geographic Information System. This information is used by the Division of Planning in case review, enforcement, and long range planning. GIS data layers are accessed by personnel in most LFUCG divisions for basic applications such as viewing, querying, and map output production.

The boundaries in this data describe propoerties approved for Tax Increment Financing (TIF). TIF is a state run program, through Kentucky Economic Development Finance Authoritythat allows developers to apply a portion of newly generated taxes from an area to pay for a project’s public infrastructureThis GIS dataset was created by the LFUCG GIS Office on behalf of the LFUCG Office of Economic Development based on approvals from Kentucky Economic Development Finance Authority. The TIF boundary data layer is an integral part of the planning data in the Lexington-Fayette-Urban County Government Geographic Information System. This information is used by the Division of Planning in case review, enforcement, and long range planning. GIS data layers are accessed by personnel in most LFUCG divisions for basic applications such as viewing, querying, and map output production.The data is in ESRI feature class format, but can be exported to any number of supported formats, including shapefile and dxf. The native projection for the data is Kentucky State Plane North (NAD83), but may have been reprojected for use in other applications. Please check metadata to determine current projection.
