Description: This layer represents the tax parcels in King County. This layer also includes place-holder polygons which do not represent tax parcels but are included to identify platted and unplatted land descriptions. The layer includes stacked polygon geometry for undivided interest and vertical parcels. King County parcel numbers may include leading zeros in PIN, Major or Minor. The data is created for Assessment purposes and is not guaranteed to represent accurate measurements or to reflect salability or buildability of a tax parcel. These tax parcel boundaries represent general location only, and they should not be considered or used as the exact legal parcel boundary location. Do not use for survey purposes.
Description: The Parcels data set is a thematic layer depicting current real property parcel boundaries within Snohomish County, Washington based on the legal descriptions contained in the assessment roll. Parcels in this data set are defined as real property entities that can be valued for the purpose of collecting taxes. Parcels include, but are not limited to land, buildings on leased land, mobile homes and condominium units. Parcels may overlap. Parcels such as condominium units and mobile homes that may occupy a single polygon are represented as non-planar features (regions) of the same geographic extent. The Parcels data set does not depict legal ownership boundaries nor does it represent legal building lots. Snohomish County does not maintain parcels for the complete geographic coverage of the county. There is no parcel fabric in much of the eastern mountainous area.
