Description: The Parcels feature is the geographic representation of cadastre records within the County as recorded in deeds and plats. The current parcels set is based off of the 1979 double circle maps by Wingate Appraisal & Mapping and digitized in the early 1990s. The data is continuously updated, as new land records become available. New parcels are added in a “best fit” methodology giving preference to the most current source. This feature is co-managed in AutoCAD and ArcMap. In Arc this polygon feature is part of a Editing topology along with our Zoning feature and our Administration feature. This prevents self-intersection and gaps, while ensuring complete coverage amongst the participating features.The Real Estate Valuation System is AssessPro.
Description: Appraiser Zones are a group of complementary land uses. Sometimes referred to as neighborhoods, these areas cluster parcels and their improvements by similar age, value, use, and economic potential. Appraiser Zones often follow subdivision boundaries, but may be split on block, section, or phase. These zones are maintained by Roanoke County Real Estate Valuation Dept. through AssessPro.
