Surveying and Land Records Glossary of Terms

By Nancy von Meyer, GISP

This comprehensive glossary contains hundreds of definitions of key terms essential to the fields of assessment and land records management. The easy to use guide also provides a complete list of acronyms to help the reader make sense of the industry’s “alphabet soup”. The enclosed terms were sampled from among dozens of essential sources. These included many commonly used land surveying texts as well as legal dictionaries and existing geographic information systems glossaries. These terms help remove ambiguity and provide the reader with a solid framework of the language and syntax that make up the field. This glossary is a one-stop guidebook for any GIS or assessing professional no matter what their level of experience. If you plan on attending a URISA GIS & CAMA Conference in the future this is a must read.
