Check nearby parcels
Look at surrounding lots, canals, access roads, waterfront position and parcel shape. This helps reduce wrong-parcel mistakes in areas with similar addresses or unit numbers.
Do not treat GIS as a legal survey
GIS maps help with research, but legal boundary, title and survey questions need recorded documents, survey work or professional review.
