Q: How do we measure and validate accuracy?

A: There are various quality control measures that we take to reject certain data if it does not meet a certain quality standard. Due to our curation model we do not have a single accuracy standard for all of our data. Each dataset is unique.

Parcel and structure data throughout the nation is created by various methods by each authoritative source. Most are not sub foot accurate. As a result of this it is not recommended to use our data for engineering purposes (e.g. surveying, flying a drone around and avoiding buildings, etc).
