description: <DIV STYLE="text-align:Left;font-size:12pt"><P><SPAN>This dataset divides the county into Survey Townships (36 sq. miles) and Sections (1 sq. mile). It is the foundational grid used for legal descriptions in Florida. Each section is identified by its Section, Township, and Range (STR) coordinates. The Nassau County PLSS framework was originally established via a professional consultancy project aimed at creating a high-precision digital GIS parcel map. This foundational project involved establishing geodetic control and incorporating recorded deeds to compile a complete countywide framework. Unlike a static grid, this layer is a living dataset. As new plats are recorded and the Nassau County Property Appraiser's Office (NCPAO) GIS Department receives updated survey information, the PLSS polylines are adjusted to reflect these new measurements. This ensures the framework maintains optimal alignment with current survey-grade data and provides a reliable base for the county’s cadastral mapping.</SPAN></P></DIV>
licenseInfo: <DIV STYLE="text-align:Left;font-size:12pt"><P><SPAN>While this layer is based on established geodetic control and is updated with survey-grade information, it is provided for assessment and general planning purposes only. It is not a legal land survey. Section lines and corners are digital representations and may not perfectly align with physical markers in the field. Users should refer to official recorded plats and certified surveys for legal boundary determinations. This layer acts as the spatial "skeleton" for the Land Parcels layer. Any adjustments to the PLSS polylines based on new surveys must be coordinated with the parcel maintenance workflow to ensure topological consistency across the NCPAO database. Maintenance is ongoing and driven by the recording of new subdivision plats and certified surveys.</SPAN></P></DIV>
