IC 32-19.5-2-2Division of Indiana into statewide zone layer and multizone layer Sec. 2. (a) For purposes of the use of the INPCS, Indiana is divided into a statewide zone layer and a multizone layer.

(b) The statewide zone layer:

(1) consists of a single zone, which is constituted by the total area included in Indiana;

(2) should generally be used for applications such as:

(A) a statewide digital orthoimagery;

(B) a statewide geographic information system; and

(C) emergency management and preparedness mapping; and

(3) should generally not be used for applications such as:

(A) original, retracement, or route surveys, as described in 865 IAC 1-12;

(B) describing real property; and

(C) the design and construction of large facilities or massive civil infrastructure such as manufacturing plants, bridges, and dams.

(c) The multizone layer:

(1) consists of multiple LDP zones that are constituted by the areas included in individual counties or specified groups of counties; and

(2) should generally be used for applications such as:

(A) original, retracement, or route surveys, as described in 865 IAC 1-12;

(B) describing real property;

(C) the design and construction of large facilities or massive civil infrastructure such as manufacturing plants, bridges, and dams; and

(D) city or county geographic information systems.

IC 32-19.5-3Chapter 3. Coordinates; Geodetic Control; Recording Requirements

32-19.5-3-1Expression of geographic positions 32-19.5-3-2Geodetic control points and positioning systems 32-19.5-3-3Coordinates purporting to define position on land boundary map; recording requirements 32-19.5-3-4Official geodetic datums

IC 32-19.5-3-1Expression of geographic positions Sec. 1. (a) The plane coordinates of a point to be used in expressing the geographic position or location of the point in the appropriate zone of the INPCS must consist of two (2) distances, expressed in feet and decimals of a foot or meters and decimals of a meter. When a value is expressed in feet, it must be expressed in international feet (1 foot = 0.3048 meters).

(b) The distance described in subsection (a) that gives the distance east of the Y axis is the "east or x-coordinate". The distance described in subsection (a) that gives the distance north of the X axis is the "north or y-coordinate".

(c) The Y axis of any zone must be parallel with the central median of that zone. The X axis of any zone must be at right angles to the central median of that zone.

IC 32-19.5-3-2Geodetic control points and positioning systems Sec. 2. To locate the position of the coordinate systems on the surface of the earth within Indiana, the position of the INPCS must be established by geodetic control points or positioning systems, such as the Continuously Operating Reference Stations (CORS) that are part of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration CORS Network, or similar points and systems whose positions have been established from those points and systems.

IC 32-19.5-3-3Coordinates purporting to define position on land boundary map; recording requirements Sec. 3. Coordinates based on the Indiana coordinate system of 1927 (as described in IC 32-19), the Indiana coordinate system of 1983 (as described in IC 32-19), the INPCS, or any other coordinate system published by an agency of the federal government or the state, including the Indiana Geospatial Coordinate System, purporting to define the position of a point on a land boundary map may not be presented to be recorded in any public land records or deed records unless the recording document contains the following:

(1) The method used to relate the coordinates to the NSRS.

(2) The name and zone of the coordinate system, including the following metadata:

(A) Reference frame or datum.

(B) Datum realization.

(C) Epoch.

(D) Units.

IC 32-19.5-4-1Naming and designation of the INPCS Sec. 1. As established for use in any of the zones within the multizone layer, the INPCS:

(1) must be named; and

(2) in any land description in which it is used, must be designated by the official name promulgated by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's NGS.

As added by P.L.147-2026, SEC.18.

IC 32-19.5-4-2Reference to zone named in description Sec. 2. When a tract of land to be defined by a single description extends from one (1) zone into other adjacent zones, the positions of all points on the boundaries of the tract being defined must be referred to by the zone that is specifically named in the description.

As added by P.L.147-2026, SEC.18.

IC 32-19.5-4-3Basic and prevailing methods for descriptions; resolution of conflicts Sec. 3. (a) Descriptions of tracts of land by reference to the United States public land surveys, other original pertinent surveys, or subdivisions are recognized as the basic and prevailing method for describing such tracts.

(b) If coordinates of the INPCS are used to describe a tract of land that, in the same document, is also described by reference to any subdivision, line, or corner of the United States public land surveys, other original pertinent surveys, or subdivisions:

(1) the description by coordinates must be construed as supplemental to the basic description of the subdivision, line, or corner contained in the official plats and field notes filed of record; and

(2) in the event of any conflict, the description by reference to the subdivision, line, or corner of the United States land surveys, other original pertinent surveys, or subdivisions prevails over the description by coordinates.
