Workflow – Maintain Property Locations

Goal

Maintain accurate property location codes and geographic organization to ensure proper property identification, reporting, and administrative efficiency.

When to Use

Address updates and changes
Municipal redistricting requirements
Geographic reorganization projects
New development area assignments
Location code standardization

Prerequisites

Current location data and mapping information
Authority to update location assignments
Understanding of municipal boundaries
Access to geographic information systems
Coordination with assessor and planning departments

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Review Locations

Audit existing location codes and assignments
Identify properties requiring location updates
Review geographic boundaries and districts
Check for location code conflicts or duplicates
Assess mapping accuracy and completeness

2. Update Codes

Assign new location codes as needed
Modify existing location assignments
Update district and jurisdiction codes
Establish location hierarchies
Validate code uniqueness and format

3. Validate Addresses

Verify property addresses for accuracy
Standardize address formats and components
Correct address errors and inconsistencies
Update postal and delivery information
Confirm address-to-location code relationships

4. Synchronize Data

Update related systems and databases
Synchronize with assessment rolls
Coordinate with mapping systems
Update reporting and inquiry systems
Validate data integrity across systems

Example

Update location codes for municipal redistricting affecting 800 properties:

District boundary changes: 3 districts affected
Properties requiring relocation: 800 accounts
New location codes assigned: 12 new codes
Address validations completed: 800 addresses checked
System synchronization: Assessment, billing, and mapping systems updated

Common Errors & Fixes

Error: Code Conflicts

Problem: Duplicate or conflicting location codes
Fix: Review code assignment standards and resolve conflicts systematically

Error: Address Validation

Problem: Invalid or improperly formatted addresses
Fix: Use address validation tools and standardization procedures

Error: Mapping Discrepancies

Problem: Location codes don't match geographic boundaries
Fix: Coordinate with GIS systems and update mapping relationships
