What are the technical specifications of LiDAR?
Here is the Control and Accuracy Report.
I’ve purchased adjacent tiles of parcel and they’re polylines clipped at the tile boundary, but I want full parcels as polygons. How can I connect line work from adjacent tiles together to complete the parcels which cross the tile boundary into single features and/or convert the geometry to polygons?
Polygons would not be a good representation of the data in this case because the geometry of the parcels is clipped to the boundary of the tiles, so the area, perimeter, and parcel boundaries of the p...
I purchased flood plain mapping and the file I received was 0 kb.
Floodplain mapping is available on an “as-is” basis with no routine update schedule. Sections of floodplain mapping will be updated from time to time as needed when major storm events caus...

Why are some orthophoto data sets labeled as “Winter”, do they have snow cover?
All FBS orthophoto is cloud-free, snow-free, and leaf-free to ensure ground features are visible. Early Spring photos are sometimes taken prior to March 20, which is technically still Winter.
