The data are stored in the current version of ESRI’s File Geodatabase (v10.7 format) in NAD83 Virginia State Plane North projection. The geographic data for real estate properties reflects changes that were recorded through Dec. 31 of the previous year. Other geographic layers may reflect more recent changes, if any occurred.
