1:30 – 3:30 Parcel Maps vs. Survey Maps vs. GIS Legal Status

Steve Sorenson, von Briesen & Roper, SC

We'll discuss the differences between the three different tools used to describe real property, with special attention given to the legal status of each. We'll examine the historical development of each, showing how different players in real estate use and misuse them. Further, we'll look at the different uses of legal descriptions, the impact of reliance on public record data vs actual field data, platting vs historical use and occupancy, and finally, risk and liability when providing public data. Bring your questions!
