Mosquito Districts
Data format: Shapefile File or table name: msq Coordinate system: Lambert Conformal Conic Theme keywords: Property, Tax, Utility, District, Valuation, Mosquito, Mosquitoes, Bug, Pest
Abstract: Boundaries of mosquito districts of Washington State are depicted as polygons. This information was compiled from various Washington State County Assessor's Offices and the incorporated cities in the state. Mosquito district boundaries are updated continuously by staff at Department of Revenue as they are notified of new annexations and incorporations.

Metadata elements shown with blue text are defined in the Federal Geographic Data Committee's (FGDC) Content Standard for Digital Geospatial Metadata (CSDGM). Elements shown with green text are defined in the ESRI Profile of the CSDGM. Elements shown with a green asterisk (*) will be automatically updated by ArcCatalog. ArcCatalog adds hints indicating which FGDC elements are mandatory; these are shown with gray text.

Abstract:
Boundaries of mosquito districts of Washington State are depicted as polygons. This information was compiled from various Washington State County Assessor's Offices and the incorporated cities in the state. Mosquito district boundaries are updated continuously by staff at Department of Revenue as they are notified of new annexations and incorporations.
Purpose:
Mosquito districts are Washington State areas established to control mosquitoes. Mosquito district is a variable in the computation of property tax. This dataset is used as a reference layer for geographic information systems at the Washington State Department of Revenue and is used to identify utility property locations in relation to property tax districts. *Language of dataset: en
