County Assessors Mapping Program -
CAMP
CAMP is a cooperative partnership between the Arkansas
Assessment Coordination Department (AACD), Arkansas
Geographic Information Office (AGIO), and participating
Counties.
CAMP focuses on the development of cadastral mapping
in Arkansas. The AGIO provides technical GIS input and
support for County Assesors. The program is divided
into three phases. Please visit the Phase I and Phase
II links below to see details of each Phase.
Acquiring
hardware, software, spatial data, and training to
place a point on structures/properties (utilizing digital
orthos created through ADOP)
that are listed within the counties' computer assisted
mass appraisal (CAMA) system and associate the proper
parcel i.d. number (from the CAMA) to the point. Investigating
the most efficient way to "link" the GIS points
to the CAMA system to create dynamic updates will be
researched during this phase.
County Assessors will be provided training to begin
mapping a "graphical" representation of the
digital cadastre (as defined by Arkansas
State Land Information Board AR Code). The digital
cadastre polygon will then be populated with the proper
parcel i.d. number utilizing the points created during
Phase 1 of CAMP.
-
AR Code 15-21-502 (6) - "Digital cadastre"
means the storage and manipulation of computerized
representations of parcel maps and linked parcel
databases.
-
AR Code 15-21-504 (2) (B) - The digital cadastre
manages and provides access to cadastral information.
Digital cadastre does not represent legal property
boundary descriptions, nor is it suitable for boundary
determination of the individual parcels included
in the cadastre.
PHASE III
Simultaneous to Phase I and II, the AGIO, AACD, and
GeoStor
staff will begin research that will lead to the storage
and maintenance of the products produced through the
CAMP program.
Frequently Asked Questions
Are County Assessors required to participate
in CAMP?
CAMP is not a mandatory program. County Assessors participate
at their own will.
What if a county is already working on
the digital cadastre for their area?
The county is encouraged to follow state standards so
that a seamless statewide digital cadastre can be developed.
Counties that have already begun developing a 'polygon'
parcel layer are requested to coordinate with the AGIO.
A point file will be created from the county polygons
when it is complete.
Will the results of CAMP Phase II replace
the need of surveying?
Absolutely not. The results of CAMP Phase II will only
provide a graphical representation and will not be suitable
for legal boundary interpretation. The results of CAMP
Phase II will provide Arkansas with a product useful
for analysis of parcels in the State.
How do I participate in CAMP?
Refer to the
CAMP resources page.
What Coordinate System should the GIS data
be created in?
The GIS data should be created in AR State Plane (North
or South), North American Datum 1983 (NAD 83), Feet.
Refer to the CAMP Phase II Users Guide, page 59, to
determine whether the county is located in the north
or south zone.
