Features contained in the data set include all site access points countywide and associated attributes. Features contained in the data set include all site access points countywide and associated attributes. Site access points sometimes are referred to as addresses, however these data typically represent the intersection of the public road right of way and the private entrance to the property. In urban areas the site access is represented at the located where the primary structure is perpendicular to the public road right of way. The Taylor County Land Information Office plans to maintain this digital data in geodatabase format in an ESRI ArcSDE environment using ArcMap tools.]

Process Step
Description
[Step 5: All spatial attributes were then assigned to the address points. In the case of ESN and zip codes, the number is taken from the building location. Municipality name was assigned based on the site access location.]
Process Step
Description
[Step 2: The first data to be created for each address was the building point, so the process for creating the site access points were mostly done on the buildings. The site access point is simply a copy of the building point. If there was no building point then the site access point was created without any building point.]
Process Step
Description
[Step 4: Site access point was then placed on or adjacent to the intersection between the drive and road. When multiple addresses share the same entrance location they are placed adjacent to the drive.]
Process Step
Description
[Step 6: Because there is always a site access point for each address, but not necessarily a building point, the site access data is the main data source. Addresses were matched to the property tax database and ANI/ALI to find misssing addresses and to obtain additional modifier addresses.]
Process Step
Description
[Step 3: When the site access point was created without a building point, it is at this point it was attributed with the initial information such as address, road name, parcel number, etc. Most of these attributes were achieved with an attribute transfer. Land use type was also attributed.]
Process Step
Description
[Step 8: QC'ed table]
Process Step
Description
[Step 1: Based on the counties needs, the necessary data and corresponding fields were determined. Additional provided information not relevant to the data was removed and necessary fields were added.]
Process Step
Description
[Step 9: Created Metadata]
Process Step
Description
[Step 7: Discrepancy reports were created for the property tax database and the MSAG. A report tells of missing addresses in the taxroll and a report tells of addresses in the taxroll missing from the site access database. The same report exists for the ANI/ALI.]
