This dataset delineates the municipal boundaries for towns and district, county and regional municipalities in Nova Scotia.

Municipal property taxes are set by the council of each municipality and help fund a variety of municipal services and programs provided by the municipality. There are two different types of tax rates: residential and commercial. All tax rates are applied per $100 of taxable property assessment value. Municipal tax revenue is calculated by multiplying the property assessment value by the applicable tax rate per $100 of assessment value.

Names and locations of the interred within the municipal cemeteries. Dataset should be used in conjunction with the Municipal Cemeteries Mapping dataset. The data was created to aid in access to municipal cemetery data for genealogy and directional purposes.

At this time, only data for Mount Hermon Cemetery and Fairview Lawn Cemetery is only available. Data for the other cemeteries will be available in the future. Based on privacy legislation, all records with an interred date of more recent than 20 years have been withheld. Metadata

Part of the Nova Scotia Topographic Database (NSTDB), the structures theme layer is updated and maintained from aerial photography, and verified with field inspections. Chimneys, Incinerators, Silos and Weigh Scales are all examples of what is found in this theme. Structure feature codes and their descriptions are provided with the download in a NSTDB feature code table.

Part of the Nova Scotia Topographic Database (NSTDB), the buildings theme layer is updated and maintained from aerial photography. Buildings over 30m (one side) are collected as polygons, all others as points. Selected buildings are inspected in the field or interpreted from aerial photography and classified according to use such as hospitals, schools, police stations or community centres. Building feature codes and their descriptions are provided with the download in a NSTDB feature code table.

This layer depicts the public transportation lines received through the Esri Community Maps program, USDOT, and publicly available datasets from agencies, municipalities and countries around the world. It is designed to be used with the other World Transit layers in the Living Alas. These layers include:World Transit Agency CentroidsWorld Transit StopsWorld Transit Lines by ModalityThese transit layers can be accessed together through the following resources:World Transit Group LayerWorld Transit Web MapWorld Transit Viewer (Web Mapping Application)The public transit lines are symbolized using color codes (six digit hexadecimal) provided by transit agencies. These colors correspond to many agencies' color designations such as in the Washington DC Metro with the Red, Orange, Blue, Green Yellow and Silver lines.The transit data is received in the General Transit Feed Specification (GTFS) format, an open data standard for public transportation data. Each GTFS dataset is a zipped archive of comma-separated files describing the transit services, including the geometry for mapping. Esri converts GTFS datasets into ready-to-use map layers and makes them available as Feature Services in the Living Atlas. Esri Transit map layers include data from Esri Community Maps contributors, the US Department of Transportation, as well as publicly available GTFS datasets. Please note that any data layer fields marked with an '(Esri)' tag have been added by Esri to provide user-friendly translations of GTFS standard values or to add additional context and value.Community Maps GTFS dataThrough the Esri Community Maps Program, transit organizations are able to submit their own GTFS data for use across the ArcGIS platform, giving their data more visibility and accessibility to users. Organizations interested in sharing their data can join the Community Maps Program as a data contributor.Community Maps transit contributors include:Utah Transit AuthorityWeGo Public Transit - Nashville, TNUMass AmherstSpokane Transit Authority - Spokane, WAGrand County, COMETRO HoustonLee County, FLBay of Plenty Regional Council (NZ)Miami-Dade CountyRTC Southern NevadaLA Metro - Los Angeles, CAIMPLAN - Chihuahua, MexicoSunTran - Tucson, AZVIA Metropolitan Transit - San Antonio, TXCape Breton Regional Municipality - Nova Scotia, CanadaWashington County Transit Department - Washington County, MDEastern Panhandle Transit Authority - Martinsburg, WVNew Orleans Regional Transit Authority - New Orleans, LAPark County Transit - Park County, MTUSDOT National Transportation Map DataData is included from the United States Department of Transportation (USDOT), Bureau of Transportation Statistics (BTS) National Transit Map (NTM) National Transportation Atlas Database (NTD) where the data is not available from Esri Community Maps contributors.
