You've touched on a few, but these are probably the result of "honest"
mistakes. Almost all the attempts in SC have been put on hold because the
last thing in the world the Bubbas in Power want is to have the manipulation
of the boundaries displayed in graphic format. The dedicated mappers in two
counties lost their jobs when they tried to pursue the project.

>1. Missing parcel polygons in the coverage.

>5. Property subdivided but never platted.
>6. Property assembled but never re-platted.
>7. Address of assessor's record is not the address assigned to the lot.
>8. Streets vacated to adjacent owners but property never re-platted.
>9. Highways cut through neighborhoods but never re-platted.
>10. Roads widened but adjacent parcels never re-platted or assessor's
>records updated.
>11. Tax-exempt parcels/records historically ignored by the assessor are
>out-of-date.
