However, the problem is always going to be that each county and sometimes
cities use their own spatial accuracy standards, so compiling these data is
going to produce a tremendous amount of slivers and overlaps. I know
there have been some regional clearinghouse attempts with varying success, but
they may be able to provide more current data than FGDL.</span><span

question about a week and a half ago. There are several city limits
layers out there, none of which seem to be accurate. I have been using
the FGDL layer based on parcel data, but it has some holes in it. The
TIGER data and FDEP layers are old and don’t represent recent incorporations
and annexations that have occurred in the last few years. Another problem
is that all the city limits layers that are out there do not agree with the
county boundary layers, creating problems with spatial joins. So if
anyone knows of city limit data that is up-to-date and consistent with county
boundary data, let us know.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class=MsoNormal>Hi All,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Is there an up-to-date (and accurate) municipal boundary
layer for Florida? I’m currently using the City Limits data from FGDL,
but there seems to be inconsistencies when it’s compared to official documents
such as future land use maps in comprehensive plans. Any suggestions?<o:p></o:p></p>
