This data set is a spatial representation of the New Jersey Pinelands Area Boundary (PA_Boundary). The original dataset was created by digitizing 68 photo quarterquads that were then appended together to create the boundary. The data set was updated to conform with the Pinelands Management Areas data set(PMAs) based on the NJOGIS parcel layer. The PMAs that are located within the Pinelands Area Boundary were dissolved to form the updated boundary.

This dataset contains the boundaries of New Jersey's Smart Growth Areas. This metadata mainly describes the elements derived from elements of the NJ State Development and Redevelopment Plan mapping, along with mapping from the NJ Pinelands Commission, and the Meadowlands Commission. See the metadata for the Pinelands Management Areas or the Meadowlands for specific information concerning their geographic areas.

The dataset is a feature class representing the Freshwater Wetlands (FWW) and Hydric Soils in Southern New Jersey as defined by the New Jersey Pinelands Comprehensive Management Plan. The 1986 Freshwater Wetlands from the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection (NJDEP) were used as the base layer and hydric soils from a Pinelands Integrated Terrain Unit Mapping (ITUM), derived from a dataset from the NJDEP, were added to create the layer. The boundaries are intended to provide reasonable representation of the FWW and hydric soils for planning purposes. They are not survey grade and are not definitive. This information is NOT to be used for describing actual or true wetland boundaries. A wetlands delineation will be required in order to determine the full extent of wetlands and/or buffers on a property and the NJPC's determination on a proposed development application shall constitute the definitive determination of the presence, absence, or extent of wetlands/buffers on a parcel.

This parcels data set is a spatial representation of municipal tax lots for Burlington County, New Jersey that have been extracted from the NJ statewide parcels composite by the NJ Office of Information Technology, Office of GIS (NJOGIS). Parcels at county boundaries have been modified to correspond with the NJ county boundaries and the parcels in adjacent counties.This GIS data set contains parcels created by the Burlington County Department of Information Technology (BCDIT) and the New Jersey Pinelands Comission (NJPC) for Burlington County, New Jersey. The BCDIT data consist of parcels mapped on municipal tax maps for the non-Pinelands portion of Burlington County.Each parcel contains a field named PAMS_PIN based on a concatenation of the county/municipality code, block number, lot number and qualification code. Using the PAMS_PIN, the dataset can be joined to the MOD-IV database table that contains supplementary attribute information regarding lot ownership and characteristics. Due to irregularities in the data development process, duplicate PAMS_PIN values exist in the parcel records. Users should avoid joining MOD-IV database table records to all parcel records with duplicate PAMS_PINs because of uncertainty regarding whether the MOD-IV records will join to the correct parcel records. There are also parcel records with unique PAMS_PIN values for which there are no corresponding records in the MOD-IV database tables. This is mostly due to the way data are organized in the MOD-IV database.The polygons delineated in the dataset do not represent legal boundaries and should not be used to provide a legal determination of land ownership. Parcels are not survey data and should not be used as such.The MOD-IV (Tax Assessor's) table for the county is packaged together with the parcels as one download. The MOD-IV system provides for uniform preparation, maintenance, presentation and storage of property tax information required by the Constitution of the State of New Jersey, New Jersey Statutes and rules promulgated by the Director of the Division of Taxation. MOD-IV maintains and updates all assessment records and produces all statutorily required tax lists for property tax bills. This list accounts for all parcels of real property as delineated and identified on each municipality's official tax map, as well as taxable values and descriptive data for each parcel. Tax List records were received as raw data from the Taxation Team of NJOIT which collected source information from municipal tax assessors and created the statewide table. This table was subsequently processed for ease of use with NJ tax parcel spatial data and split into an individual table for each county.***NOTE*** For users who incorporate NJOGIS services into web maps and/or web applications, please sign up for the NJ Geospatial Forum discussion listserv for early notification of service changes.

The data contained with this GIS layer can be found on the NJTPA County Profile Application. The data contains information ranging from population, race, means of travel, and other items dealing with environmental justice and transportation. Sources of the data are from the following: US Census, 2010; American Community Survey, 2011-2015; NJTPA, 2015; NJDEP, Highlands, Meadowlands, & Pinelands, 2007; NJDOT, 2009; NJ TRANSIT, 2011.The data is updated once new American Community Survey data is added to the American Factfinder web application. Other data found in the data layer are updated less frequently.The NJTPA County Profile Application is an interactive tool to help residents of northern New Jersey better understand the factors that influence transportation and quality of life in their county and in the region overall. The tools in this website employ innovative approaches to visualization – putting data into visual form – including using maps, charts, images, and interactive technology to display information about our communities and the region overall.
