Paper
Moving Toward a more Accurate Parcel Base
Track: Cadastral and Land Records
Author(s): Sam Quon

The city of Lansing's first GIS parcel layer was inaccurate. In an effort to obtain an accurate parcel map at an economical cost, the city of Lansing partnered with the Lansing Board of Water and Light (LBWL) to convert LBWL property data from Smallworld to the Esri GIS environment. Converting the parcel data is a one-time process. However, improving and maintaining the parcel data is a continuous process. This paper will discuss the methodology of the conversion process, direction of parcel maintenance, and power of partnerships.
