The Florida Geographic Data Library is a collection of Geospatial Data compiled by the University of Florida GeoPlan Center with support from the Florida Department of Transportation. GIS data available in FGDL is collected from various state, federal, and other agencies (data sources) who are data stewards, producers, or publishers. The data available in FGDL may not be the most current version of the data offered by the data source. University of Florida GeoPlan Center makes no guarantees about the currentness of the data and suggests that data users check with the data source to see if more recent versions of the data exist. Furthermore, the GIS data available in the FGDL are provided 'as is'. The University of Florida GeoPlan Center makes no warranties, guaranties or representations as to the truth, accuracy or completeness of the data provided by the data sources.

A note about data scale: Scale is an important factor in data usage. Certain scale datasets are not suitable for some project, analysis, or modeling purposes. Please be sure you are using the best available data. 1:24000 scale datasets are recommended for projects that are at the county level. 1:24000 data should NOT be used for high accuracy base mapping such as property parcel boundaries. 1:100000 scale datasets are recommended for projects that are at the multi-county or regional level. 1:125000 scale datasets are recommended for projects that are at the regional or state level or larger. Vector datasets with no defined scale or accuracy should be considered suspect. Make sure you are familiar with your data before using it for projects or analysis. Every effort has been made to supply the user with data documentation. For additional information, see the References section and the Data Source Contact section of this documentation.

DATA LINEAGE SUMMARY:

This dataset is derived from county parcel data that was released by the Florida Department of Revenue (FDOR) in the winter of 2010, the data released captured parcel information from 12-20-2010. Within the county parcel datasets is information regarding tax codes in the field 'TAXAUTHCD'. In this field, a value, or id number, is listed that corresponds to a city. Using this field and ArcMap 9.3, the tax code boundaries were mapped and classified according to this tax code id#. These tax code id# were then used in a series of GeoProcessing steps to derive a city limit layer. After the creation of these cities all data was appropriately named and then merged to make one statewide dataset.

All data was merged, creating a Statewide city limits dataset. Currently there are several counties that have parcel datasets with less than 100 percent completion, for these counties the absence of based data results in the absence of city limit boundaries for those areas. The resulting derived city limit dataset can only be as accurate as the base dataset. The Census Place layer from the 2010 Census was used to help determine some of the boundaries where PARCELS WITH NO DATA where located. Additionally the features where each buffered by 8m using the Feature Outline Mask in ArcGIS 10, in order to help clean up some of the city limit boundaries. Process Date: 20111226 GeoPlan updated the city limits layer using the following steps in 2015: - The existing boundaries of the 2011 city limits layer were compared to the Florida Department of Revenue (FDOR) 2014 county parcel data. - City limit boundary vertices were manually updated to reflect any parcels that had tax code changes by snapping the city boundary layer to the 2014 parcel layer. - Abutting city limit boundary vertices were manually adjusted to remove slivers and gaps between the adjoining polygons. - Estero was added as newly incorporated city. - Annexations were added for Cape Coral, Fort Myers and Bonita Springs - ACRES field was updated. - DESCRIPT field was added and is based on the field titled NAME - FGDLAQDATE field was created and calculated with the date GeoPlan last updated the data. - The record ISLANDIA was removed - Added portion of MARINELAND that is within St. John's county - Joined BEBR ID data and Census PLACEFP data (http://www.census.gov/geo/reference/codes/place.html) - NOTE: The cities of Fanning Springs, Flagler Beach, Long Boat Key and Marineland are all listed twice because they each lie within in two different counties. Process Date: 20150813 GeoPlan updated the city limits layer using the following steps in 2016: - The existing boundaries of the 2014 city limits layer were compared to the Florida Department of Revenue (FDOR) 2015 county parcel data. - City limit boundary vertices were manually updated to reflect any parcels that had tax code changes by snapping the city boundary layer to the 2015 parcel layer. - Abutting city limit boundary vertices were manually adjusted to remove slivers and gaps between the adjoining polygons. - Annexations were added for the following cities based on data obtained from BEBR: Altamonte Springs, Atlantis, Auburndale, Avon Park, Belleview, Bradenton, Brooksville, Bushnell, Callaway, Casselberry, Clearwater, Clermont, Cocoa, Crestview, Deland, Dundee, Dunedin, Edgewater, Eustis, Fernandina Beach, Fort Pierce, Fort Walton Beach, Greenacres, Groveland, Kissimmee, Lady Lake, Lake City, Leesburg, Longwood, Lynn Haven, Melbourne, Mount Dora, New Smyrna Beach, Niceville, Oak Hill, Ocoee, Oldsmar, Orange City, Orlando, Ormond Beach, Palatka, Panama City, Pinellas Park, Punta Gorda, Royal Palm Beach, Sanford, Sebring, Seminole, St. Augustine, St. Cloud, St. Lucie Village, Tarpon Springs, Tavares, Temple Terrace, Umatilla, Village of Palm Springs, Wauchula, West Melbourne, West Palm Beach, Wildwood, Winter Garden. - DESCRIPT field was calculated based on the field titled NAME. - FGDLAQDATE field was calculated with the date GeoPlan last updated the data. Process Date: 20161021 GeoPlan updated the city limits layer using the following steps in 2018: - The existing boundaries of the 2015 city limits layer were compared to the Florida Department of Revenue (FDOR) 2017 parcel data. - City limit boundary vertices were manually updated to reflect any parcels that had tax code changes by snapping the city boundary layer to the 2017 parcel layer. - Abutting city limit boundary vertices were manually adjusted to remove slivers and gaps between the adjoining polygons. - If not already reflected in tax codes, annexations were added based on data obtained from the Bureau of Economic and Business Research (BEBR) (2777 parcels total). - Added NOTES field. - ACRES field calulated. - DESCRIPT field was calculated based on the field titled NAME. - FGDLAQDATE field was calculated with the date GeoPlan last updated the data.
