Title: Conservation Tax Credit Properties
Abstract:
The North Carolina Department of Environment and Natural Resources, Office of Legislative and Intergovernmental Affairs, in cooperation with the NC Center for Geographic Information and Analysis, developed the digital Conservation Tax Credit Properties data to enhance planning, siting and impact analysis for the Clean Water Management Trust Fund project. This file outlines the extent of the property boundaries donated to the state in return for a tax credit.

    Other_Citation_Details: Data is updated yearly
    Type_of_Source_Media: Paper (of various scales)
    Source_Contribution:
    Paper maps and deed descriptions used to delineate tax credit property boundaries (NOTE: Properties that were donated after 1994 were not entered due to the fact that donations are not considered final for three years because of tax laws and time allowed to complete the transaction.)

  2. How were the data generated, processed, and modified?

    Date: 11-Jan-2008 (process 1 of 2)
    Each tax credit property was researched to determine if the boundaries already existed in other CGIA digital data layers. If the boundaries did exist digitally, they were copied into the tax credit coverage from the existing data. Boundaries were identified and incorporated into the tax credit coverage for 39 properties from existing county parcel data.

    If tax credit boundaries did not already exist digitally, the files supplied by the Office of Legislative and Intergovernmental Affairs were reviewed for maps and deed descriptions. Boundaries from the deed or map metes and bounds coordinates were input using a menu-driven program acquired from the State Property office. This would produce the boundary for the site. The map and deed description would be further utilized to orient the boundary to its correct geographic location. If no maps existed in the file or if the deed description was not sufficient to determine the exact location of the property, the county tax office was contacted to acquire more complete information and/or maps. These were then added to the original file. (NOTE: One property in the coastal area of Onslow County (involving 26 acres of submerged land) was not incorporated into the file -- the only maps available were from the 1890's, and the shoreline has changed too much from that time to locate the three tracts involved.)

How reliable are the data; what problems remain in the data set?

  1. How well have the observations been checked?

    This digital file is updated as needed. Attribute checks were performed by NCCGIA during data input.

  2. How accurate are the geographic locations?

    Tax credit properties data were acquired from various sources: existing data (where the boundaries already existed) or metes/bounds maps and deed descriptions. The accuracy of each property varies, dependent upon the source used.

  3. How accurate are the heights or depths?

  4. Where are the gaps in the data? What is missing?

    These data show the extents of properties donated for tax credit throughout North Carolina.

  5. How consistent are the relationships among the observations, including topology?

    Using ESRI's ARC/INFO GIS software, the dataset was built for polygon topology using the "build" command. Topology has not been edited since the last build or clean.

How can someone get a copy of the data set?

Are there legal restrictions on access or use of the data?

Access_Constraints: None
