GIS Mapping Disclaimer

Maps and documents made available to the public by the District of Kent are not legally recorded maps nor surveys and are not intended to be used as such. The maps and documents are created as part of a Geographic Information System (GIS) that compiles records, information, and data from various data sources which may contain errors. Additionally, maps and documents prepared by the GIS from multiple sources, even if derived from data that is error free, may not be reliable due to differences in the databases or computer programs of the source materials.

The Online Mapping and Property Information System may have a number of errors which may include but not be limited to the following types of errors:

Spatial errors - The areas depicted by these products are approximate and are not necessarily accurate to surveying or engineering standards. X/Y coordinates may be in error by several meters or more.
Attribute errors - Database information may be incorrect.
Currency errors - GIS data layers, databases and documents may not be the most current available or may not depict the specified time. All data is subject to constant change. Data input lags real-world changes by varying periods of time.
Completeness errors - Data may be missing or data may be included that does not belong.
Projection distortion - All map projections introduce distortion by representing the irregular shape of the earth's surface on flat maps. This affects feature shapes, angles, map distances and areas. We choose projections which minimize these distortions.
Calculation errors - Results of calculations may not be exact due to rounding, precision of stored values or algorithm differences.
