The Scott County GIS parcel database as currently maintained does not account for portions of parcels that are encompassed by a right of way; as a result the GIS Acres acreage is frequently less than a parcels true acreage. Conversely, parcels that are not impacted by a right of way, GIS Acres may be a good approximation of a parcels total acreage. The ambiguity caused by not knowing which parcels are impacted and which are not without reviewing the subject parcels legal description is a limitation of the Scott County GIS parcel database. The GIS Acres acreage is not a legal acreage, taxable acreage or any other type of authoritative figure; it is simply the acreage of the polygon that is stored in our system and displayed on our website.
