Why does it look like my house is partially on my neighbor's property?
The parcel lines represent the Geographic Information System (GIS) Department's effort to recreate the parcel lines recorded at the Assessor's Office. There are areas of the island where this data is less accurate than others. The GIS Department is working to fix these areas and to increase the accuracy of all of its data.

Please keep in mind that the parcel lines in the GIS are not the legal representation of your property.
