<div style='font-family:"Avenir Next W01", "Avenir Next W00", "Avenir Next", Avenir, "Helvetica Neue", sans-serif; font-size:16px; text-align:justify;'>Skagit County Parcel Accuracy Improvement Project map is designed to be used with the <a href='https://skagitcounty.maps.arcgis.com/apps/dashboards/be0efd96ed144fc6ab9e42d8f71031e0' rel='nofollow ugc' style='color:rgb(0, 97, 155); text-decoration-line:none; font-family:inherit;' target='_blank'>Parcel Accuracy Improvement Dashboard</a>. The intent of the map is to show relevant information in relation to the Parcel Accuracy Improvement Project, including project areas, status of various projects, construction progress and survey control that is being used for the project.</div><div style='font-family:"Avenir Next W01", "Avenir Next W00", "Avenir Next", Avenir, "Helvetica Neue", sans-serif; font-size:16px; text-align:justify;'><br /></div><div style='font-family:"Avenir Next W01", "Avenir Next W00", "Avenir Next", Avenir, "Helvetica Neue", sans-serif; font-size:16px; text-align:justify;'>Project Information:</div><div style='font-family:"Avenir Next W01", "Avenir Next W00", "Avenir Next", Avenir, "Helvetica Neue", sans-serif; font-size:16px; text-align:justify;'><br /></div><div style='font-family:"Avenir Next W01", "Avenir Next W00", "Avenir Next", Avenir, "Helvetica Neue", sans-serif; font-size:16px; text-align:justify;'>Skagit County displays the Public Land Survey System (PLSS) monuments and section lines on the Assessor maps. However, in most cases these are theoretical positions and can be in error by as much as 300 feet. When the mapping program began in 1987, map accuracy became a low priority because of both cost and business need.</div><div style='font-family:"Avenir Next W01", "Avenir Next W00", "Avenir Next", Avenir, "Helvetica Neue", sans-serif; font-size:16px; text-align:justify;'><br /></div><div style='font-family:"Avenir Next W01", "Avenir Next W00", "Avenir Next", Avenir, "Helvetica Neue", sans-serif; font-size:16px; text-align:justify;'>To meet new and evolving business needs of Skagit County, the County must rebuild its base map foundation by first creating an accurate geodetic framework (PLSS control, Street Centerlines, Right-Of-Way, and Parcels). From this framework, County maps can then be rebuilt and realigned to meet the changing business needs of Skagit County. This cannot be done by simply rubber-sheeting the maps. Business needs require accuracy to be (+/- 1 meter) of horizontal accuracy.</div><div style='font-family:"Avenir Next W01", "Avenir Next W00", "Avenir Next", Avenir, "Helvetica Neue", sans-serif; font-size:16px; text-align:justify;'><br /></div><div style='font-family:"Avenir Next W01", "Avenir Next W00", "Avenir Next", Avenir, "Helvetica Neue", sans-serif; font-size:16px; text-align:justify;'><span style='font-family:"Avenir Next W01", "Avenir Next W00", "Avenir Next", Avenir, "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif !important; font-size:medium; text-align:start; font-weight:bold;'>Contact Information:</span><br /><span style='font-family:inherit; font-size:medium; text-align:start;'>For more information about this map, please contact the Skagit County GIS Department:</span><br /><span style='font-family:inherit; font-size:medium; text-align:start;'>1700 East College Way</span><br /><span style='font-family:inherit; font-size:medium; text-align:start;'>Mount Vernon, WA 98274</span><br /><span style='font-family:inherit; font-size:medium; text-align:start;'>(360) 416-1168</span><br /><span style='font-family:inherit; font-size:medium; text-align:start;'>Fax: (360) 336-9466</span><br /><span style='font-family:inherit; font-size:medium; text-align:start;'>email: gis@co.skagit.wa.us</span><br /><br /><span style='font-family:"Avenir Next W01", "Avenir Next W00", "Avenir Next", Avenir, "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif !important; font-size:medium; text-align:start; font-weight:bold;'>Problems?</span><br /><span style='font-family:inherit; font-size:medium; text-align:start;'>Please report any map issues to Skagit County Geographic Information Services:</span><br /><span style='font-family:inherit; font-size:medium; text-align:start;'>1700 East College Way</span><br /><span style='font-family:inherit; font-size:medium; text-align:start;'>Mount Vernon, WA 98274</span><br /><span style='font-family:inherit; font-size:medium; text-align:start;'>(360) 416-1168</span><br /><span style='font-family:inherit; font-size:medium; text-align:start;'>Fax: (360) 336-9466</span><br /><span style='font-family:inherit; font-size:medium; text-align:start;'>email: gis@co.skagit.wa.us</span><br /><br /><img alt='Skagit County' src='https://www.skagitcounty.net/Home/images/logo/translogo125.png' style='max-width:100%; height:auto;' /><br /><a href='https://www.skagitcounty.net/' rel='nofollow ugc' style='color:rgb(0, 97, 155); text-decoration-line:none; font-family:inherit;' target='_blank'>Skagit County</a><br /><a href='https://www.skagitcounty.net/Home/draftTermsandConditions.htm' rel='nofollow ugc' style='color:rgb(0, 97, 155); text-decoration-line:none; font-family:inherit;' target='_blank'>Skagit County Terms And Use</a></div> |
