Description: This layer contains data defining the exterior boundaries of subdivided land within subdivisions in Fairfax County, Virginia. The Block layer was created to depict subdivided land areas within subdivisions defined by recorded documents (plats) for the County of Fairfax. The polygons portrayed on this layer define the third portion of the County's Parcel Identification Numbering system (Map / Subdivision / Block / Parcel). Blocks are indicated on the property maps using a number within a single circle and boundaries that have heavy dashed lines. Information portrayed on this layer was initially derived from the ink-on-mylar property maps maintained by the County since the early 1960s.For more information go to the Geospatial Property Data Guide.Contact: Fairfax County Department of Information Technology GIS DivisionData Accessibility: Publicly AvailableUpdate Frequency: DailyLast Revision Date: 1/1/2000Creation Date: 1/1/2000Feature Dataset Name: GISMGR.PARCELSLayer Name: GISMGR.BLOCKS
