Taking the map into the field

Limits of the parcel data
Tax maps are drawn for assessment, not measured on the ground, so a fence near Jumpertown may sit a few yards off the line on screen. For property near Jumpertown, owner names and values update on a schedule, so a deed recorded last month may not show yet.
