A. The following requirements provide for digital parcel map preparation and relational data base development in accordance with these standards.

B. The state of Louisiana has adopted the following definition of a parcel for the purpose of these mapping standards-a parcel is a contiguous area of land under one ownership that can be included under one description for assessment or appraisal purposes after consideration of all legal and practical elements.

C. A parcel map is defined as a scale depiction of the parcel boundaries within a governmental jurisdiction, as covered by the map's image area. It is normally a multi-purpose record designed to show real property ownership within its jurisdiction, the basis for real property valuation and taxation, and geographical information for use by planners, governmental agencies, and the general public.

D. Major elements of information to be included on any parcel map and associated relational database are as follows:

1. name, boundaries and identification of all land parcels, tracts and subdivisions;

2. parish, township, section, municipality, public land boundaries, and associated identification;

3. boundaries of all known rights-of-way, servitudes and easements;

4. delineation and identification of all streets, highways, alleys, railroads, lakes, rivers, streams and related features.
