			<abstract>These parcels represent the current mapped parcels, to represent tax areas, not to serve as surveyed boundaries. Parcels polygons should never be considered survey accurate, nor should they be used in place of a survey by a registered land surveyor for any means other than general reference to the taxable area described on a deed. For any noticeable mapping errors please notify the Blair County Assessment Office at: blairassessment@blairco.org or by calling the office at: (814) 693-3110.</abstract>
