ADDRESS MANAGEMENT

Address Management Overview

You can add Custom Addresses for properties and locations. Any object that requires a permit requires an address. Here are some common examples: Properties with Multiple Addresses: Strip malls are often in the assessors tax roll as one parcel and one address; however, for various reasons, such as permitting and public safety, this is not adequate to meet departmental needs. Non-property Areas: Electrical transformers, bus stops, fire hydrants, water meters, etc. Tip: To search for a Custom Address, use the Locate Search field: Begin typing an address in the Locate Search field. The auto-complete menu displays. Click a Custom Address. GovClarity® zooms to the address and displays the Custom Address panel. You can use the Panel to verify and edit the information that you entered. All of the Custom Addresses that you add in GovClarity® display in the Custom Address layer as point icons when the layer is turned on. Hover and Click the address point icon to open the Custom Address Panel. You may have to select More Results if the tooltip is off.
