<DIV>From the local perspective, you are trying to hit a moving target. Here at Tallahassee/Leon, we review between 6 and 12 annexations per year. Some are small some are very large. Multiply that by every municipality in the state and you can see how hard that would be to keep up with. Finding an "Up to date" layer is highly unlikely.</DIV>

<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt; COLOR: blue; FONT-FAMILY: 'Tahoma','sans-serif'">Precisely. That is what I was trying to point out in my 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.<?XML:NAMESPACE PREFIX = O /><O:P></O:P></SPAN></P>

<P class=MsoNormal>Hi All,<O:P></O:P></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><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>
