Sender: Lacey Graeme <[log in to unmask]> In Australia, cadastral (land parcel) mapping is a function co-ordinated by state government departments, who derive these data from surveys usually conducted by private sector surveyors. Under the Torrens system of land registration, the 8 states/territories also register the ownership and transfers of land. As a colleague is reviewing the digital cadastral mapping system in a number of countries, it would be appreciated if someone could advise a website that provides an overview of cadastral mapping in USA. I understand cadastral (tax) mapping is conducted by each county tax collector. How many counties (ie separate cadastral/tax mapping systems) are there in USA? --- End Forwarded Message ---
