Text

§171. Statewide land information mapping and records system; standards
A. The state land office shall establish, promulgate, and maintain appropriate
standards for a statewide land information mapping and map records system of all lands,
private and public, within the state of Louisiana to promote and ensure compatibility,
uniformity, and cost-effectiveness by public entities. These standards shall be developed to
include the establishment of appropriate photogrametric or electronic mapping techniques
and procedures which efficiently accommodate land information collection, maintenance,
sharing, and retrieval. The department shall adopt these standards by rules adopted pursuant
to the Administrative Procedure Act prior to January 1, 1991.
B. The standards required by Subsection A shall be employed by every parish
governing authority or tax assessor undertaking the development of a land information
mapping and map records system to assure that the assessment rolls of the parish contain a
complete list of all taxable property. Only parish and tax assessor land information mapping
and map records systems complying with these standards shall be eligible for state financial
aid.
C. Information contained in the land information system shall not constitute or be
considered as a legal representation of immovable property.
