Labeling Parcels
In the parcel fabric, the parcel name text field is used to store the parcel identification number (PIN). This PIN is sometimes called APN (Assessor Parcel Number) or AIN (Assessor Identification Number) and other conventions. This number is usually kept unique by constructing it from the book, page and a sequential number, as well as similar methods. The field might store “264014001” which stands for Book 264 Page 014 Parcel 001 and can be formatted to show “264-014-001”.
Best practices include the use of label classes to show the full PIN when zoomed in and only the last 3 digits when zoomed out.
- Label expression: to separate the parcel number by dashes you can use a label expression similar to this: Left([Name],3) & “-” & Mid([Name],4,3) & “-” & Right([Name],3)
- MapTips: some users prefer to only label the last 3 digits and use a MapTip to show the parcel number when hovering over the parcel.
- To do so, activate your MapTip in the Layer’s Display Tab.
- To get the MapTip in the example above, use the following expression:
” Book: “& Left([Name],3) & vbNewLine & ” Page: “& Mid([Name],4,3) & vbNewLine & ” APN: ” & Right([Name],3)

Labeling Parcel Lines with COGO Dimensions
A parcel map requirements for line dimensions used to be hard to achieve using only labels. This is the reason many user reverted to the use of annotation. But maintaining annotation is labor intensive, designed for a specific scale and prone to user error. Labels, on the other hand, are database driven, can be easily compared with the line’s geometry as part of the QA process and require no maintenance once configured. We spent a few hours configuring the labels for parcel lines and you can see the results below, which are just as good, if not better. This result could have never been achieved without the parcel fabric redundancy of lines and the concept of line-point.
This post can help you configure labels for parcel fabric lines using the standard label engine or the Maplex extension. Even if you are forced to use annotation, you can benefit from this configuration, as labels can easily be converted to annotation. Continue reading
Parcel Editing Workflows at ArcGIS 10 – Alley Vacations
Here is a great blog post from the Parcel Editor Team. Its an overview of the editing workflow you’d go through to vacate an alley in ArcGIS 10.
Alley Vacation – Part 1
The parcel fabric data model lends itself to many improved workflows for managing your parcels, particularly when it is used in conjunction with the Local Government Data Model and Tax Parcel Editing Template for ArcGIS 10, which you can download from the resource center. Some of these improved workflows are hard to detail in the help, though, so we’re hoping some blogs will help out. One of these workflows comes from the City and County of Denver and centers on how you perform a vacation of an alley or right-of-way parcel. The City and County are using the Local Government Data Model, which provides the ability for managing not only parcels, but also Lots and Subdivisions.
There are a few things to consider before performing an alley vacation or creating any new parcel(s).
1. Does the alley exist in the lot layer?
If the alley exists, the first step before doing any work would be to make sure the original lot (alley) is marked appropriately in the historic layer (marked as Vacation).
2. How accurate are the measurements on the adjacent block edges/lots?
In the data that was used for this example, the lots should be 125 feet by 25 feet, but a look in the parcel description shows the measurements are off for some of the lots.
The best practice in this case is to re-enter the original blocks by cogo-ing the outer boundary of the block from recording, and then using the Parcel Division tool or Construction to recreate the lots. Once completed, these blocks can be joined to the Fabric using control points or even orthophotography. Of course, the tax parcels would also have to either recreated from the lots or re-joined to fit the newly constructed lots.
The first workflow listed below can be used for this task. In a later post, will talk about how to complete this process without recreating the lots.
Recreating Blocks and Lots from Records (original city subs)
1. Mark original lots historic or delete them all together from the Fabric. In this example, I’ve left this step until the end so that I can use the lots as reference to name the new ones
2. COGO entire block boundary from record. For this example, all of the lots are 125 X 25.
a. Create a new Plan, and give it an appropriate name.
b. Create a new construction inside that plan, set the parcel template to “lots”
c. COGO the outer boundary like this:
Please note that the alley was divided two pieces. More on that later. Also note that the original lots are displayed in the background.
d. Delete the 575’ measurement
e. Select the Segmented Line Tool from the top of the Parcel Details window:
To start, make sure you cursor is in the FROM cell of the next available row and click in the grid to replace the NW corner, type “23” to get 23 equal segments or right click.
<img src="http://downloads.esri.com/blogs/arcgisdesktop/alley6.jpg"
f. Click the SW corner, and do the same thing for all the other edges.
<img src="http://downloads.esri.com/blogs/arcgisdesktop/alley7.jpg"
g. Digitize in the connect lot lines, create a connection line for the center of the Alley.
3. Build and Join. For this example, the parcels are turned off and we joined directly to photography as control. Later on, the data can be re-adjusted to proper control if desired.
<img src="http://downloads.esri.com/blogs/arcgisdesktop/alley9.jpg" target="_blank"
a. Then create any join links between the existing Parcels and the new lots…make sure to have points turned on for this!
b. Hit OK, and the data will now look like this:
4. This will make the ROW (Alley) Vacation easier since you now have the centerline of the ROW (Alley) to use to expand the tax parcels.
a. With the Tax Parcels and just the ROW (Alley) in question selected, we can use the Construct From Parent option to do the rest of the line work.
b. We can digitize over the connection lines, creating new lines that extend the current tax parcels. The Planarize command can be used to get rid of any excess. We then build to create polygons and merge the smaller vacation leftovers to the current tax parcels, carrying their attributes over to the newly expanded parcel.
c. Finally, mark ROW (Alley) Vacated (Historic).

Alley Vacation part 2
In a previous post, we talked about how to perform a vacation of an ally or right-of-way parcel using the parcel fabric data model in conjunction with the Local Government Data Model and the Tax Parcel Editing Template from the resource center. For this post we are going to talk about the same process, but without recreating the original lots. As with the previous post, we will be working through an example provided by the City and County of Denver. For this example, the lots currently in the database do not match the legal description (the lots should all be 125 X 25), which is a common occurrence in most databases.
Performing the Vacation without re-creating the original lots
Using the existing lots is the easiest and most straightforward way to go, but not the best-practice. You could think of this as the quick-and-dirty way to get the tax parcels added and move on with your day.
1. Begin by creating a connection line for the gap between the two disconnected groups. Use the tool on the Parcel Editor toolbar. This ensures that a construct from parent process will work, since it requires the group to be connected.
2. Use the parcels on the northernmost part of this group, across the gap (alley). Note the 29’ distance and 87 degree bearing. The distance measurement should be 30’, with a bearing closer to 90 degrees. Since we are going with the current set of lots, though, we will simply hit the Apply button to use these numbers.
3. Select just the Tax Parcels that you need to extend to the center of the ROW (Alley) being vacated, right click and select the Construct from parent option.
4.Select the Segmented Line Tool at the top of the Parcel Details window.
Create a two part segmented line over the top of the connection line that you created. Take note that the lines as inversed are 14.515ft, not 15. This is due to the lots/parcels not being repaired prior to the edit.
Note: Be careful, there are two points very close together 81 & 121 in this data.
5. Same for the southern edge, connecting the midpoints together with another boundary line, to form a centerline running down the middle of the alley/ROW.
6. Next step is to create lines across the construction lines used to re-create the ROW (Alley) and the centerline.
a. Start at point 116 as shown here and then place the cursor in the Bearing field
b. We want to extend the parcel line along the same bearing, so move the cursor to snap to the tax parcel line that you want to pick up, hold SHIFT and then click to pick up the bearing (this will populate that value in Bearing field).
c. Purposely type in something longer than 14.5 (1/2 way point or ROW width)
d. Use the Planarize command to break the line at the centerline. Select the overlapping piece in the grid, right click and choose the Delete Rows option to remove it.
7. Continue this process until all the remaining tax parcels have been extended to the ROW (Alley) center and then merge the smaller pieces to you existing tax parcels to get you final output. In this example, there are no historic ROW parcels created, since they were not there to begin with.

Campus Maps and Apps added to ArcGIS for Local Government
Recently, we added the Campus Editing and Campus
Basemap templates to the ArcGIS
for Local Government Gallery and a new ArcGIS for Facilities Group on
ArcGIS.com.
These Campus maps can be used to capture interior and/or
exterior assets on a university or business campus. They can also be used by government agencies
to capture these same assets in a downtown, or on a government complex or
military base. These interior and
exterior assets are the foundation for a variety of desktop, mobile and web
mapping applications deployed to support facilities management, education,
public works, planning, and military business needs.
The Campus Editing template is an ArcMap editing map,
editor extension, and set of editing workflows for managing building, interior
space and related exterior campus data. It is an editor that can be
used by mapping technicians in a college university, private corporation, or
public works agency to streamline the collection, maintenance and use of asset
information.
The Campus Basemap template is an ArcGIS Map
Document that can be used to create a high-resolution, multi-scale (~1:9k to
1:141) basemap for a university, or business campus. As we mentioned earlier, this basemap can also be used
by government agencies to produce a high-resolution basemap for a downtown,
government complex, or military base.
Stay tuned for future maps and apps that will leverage this
high-resolution data.
The first application we’ll release is called the Campus
Place Finder. This application will work in concert with the basemap and
editing templates. Leveraging the new building interior features
incorporated in thee Local Government Information Model FacilitiesStreets
feature dataset, users will be able to search by occupant name or interior
space (e.g., office number) to locate people or places of interest within
campus facilities.
When you’re ready to start using the Campus
Editing map with your data, start by downloading the Local Government
Information Model schema-only layer package. It can be used to create the empty
geodatabase you’ll need to migrate your facilities data and publish these
campus maps.
ArcGIS for Local Government UC Wrap Up
We wanted to take a minute to thank everyone who attended our sessions at the UC last week. The feedback we got was outstanding and we look forward to working with you in the near future.
If you couldn’t make the UC Tech Workshops, we’ll try to get the video for the ArcGIS for Local Government: An Introduction Tech Workshop published on the Resource Center later this summer. In the meantime, the presentation is attached to this blog post for reference.
We’re excited to incorporate what we learned at the conference in to our plans and we’d also like to take this opportunity to share with you our plans for the next 60 days (rest of the summer here in Michigan…).
New Maps and Apps:
We will be adding a series of maps and apps to the ArcGIS for Local Government offering. They include:
Maps and Apps Gallery: A web application that provides citizens a single gallery of maps and apps you’ve published for your organization. It also allows external developers who are leveraging your authoritative data to submit their apps for inclusion in your gallery.
Address Editing Map: An editing map that helps planning, public safety, and land records organizations in local government maintain road centerlines w/ address ranges, site addresses, and related postal addresses.
Service Request for HTML 5: A HTML 5 application that allows citizens to submit non-emergency requests for service from a mobile phone, desktop computer or tablet device.
Community Planning: A web application that allows citizens to propose community master plan design alternatives.
Park Finder: A web application that allows citizens to find a park nearby, or list of parks that Offer recreation activities you’re interested in.
Sign Inspection: A universal iOS application that allows public works and DOT field staff to collect new street signs and conduct inspections on existing signs.
Campus Editing Map: An editing map that helps facility managers maintain interior spaces and exterior assets found on building grounds or a campus.
Campus Basemap: A multi-scale basemap for facility managers that can be used as a backdrop for facility applications and to enhance content found in your local government basemaps.
Campus Room Finder: A web application that allows users to find an office, conference room, or other interior space in a building or among many buildings on a campus.
Easier to Deploy:
In addition to adding a new set of maps and apps, we will be taking several steps to make it easier for you to deploy ArcGIS for Local Government in your organization. In doing so, look for:
Quarterly Releases: A consistent quarterly release schedule that includes new maps and apps, updates to existing maps and apps, and any bug fixes reported by users. Our first quarterly release will be in October 2011.
On-premise Offering: A single ArcGIS for Local Government download that is simple to install and configure. This single download will replace the individual downloads on the Resource Center today. It will also allow you to identify one or more ArcGIS for Local Government modules you’d like to deploy in your organization; and install the individual applications contained within each module.
Online Help: An ArcGIS for Local Government online help system for users and partners deploying the system.
Partner Offerings:
Esri is committed to developing a community of partners who are actively engaged in selling and delivering ArcGIS for Local Government. It is through collaboration with its partner community that Esri best meets the needs of local government customers.
In order to make this collaboration with Partners repeatable and successful, Esri has created the ArcGIS for Local Government Specialty designation within the Esri Partner Network. It is designed for Partners who are focused on the local government marketplace and who want to work more closely with Esri.
Several Esri Partners approached the ArcGIS for Local Government team at the UC and are ready to add their applications to growing ecosystem. We will be working with these partners to ensure the applications can be deployed with the Local Government Information Model and simply by users. We look forward to highlighting the good work these partners are doing in local government.
Thanks again for the tremendous feedback at the UC. We were delighted that many of you took the time to attend the sessions we had. As always, feel free to contact us with any specific feedback or questions you may have.
New release of Local Government Information Model supports upcoming Address and Facilities Maps and Apps
ArcGIS for Local Government provides a simple, harmonized local government information model that supports a series of maps and apps used by local governments. The information model reflects specific application requirements and the cartographic requirements necessary to produce rich, multi-scale base maps and operational layers. You can download the information model from ArcGIS.com and migrate your content into this geodatabase design. When you do, you can quickly take advantage of the maps and apps published on the ArcGIS for Local Government Resource Center.
The Local Government Information Model in ArcCatalog
This release of the local government information model includes a series of major updates.
Major Updates:
The Address feature dataset was updated to support the active management of site addresses. The SiteAddress feature class was retired and three new feature classes were added to the local government information model. This update supports a series of Address Editing apps currently under development. The new feature classes and a PostalAddress table in the local government information model are a physical implementation of the FGDC United States Thoroughfare, Landmark, and Postal Address Data Standard and were adapted to support site address maintenance in local government.
The FacilitiesStreets feature dataset was updated to support the active management of facilities and campuses.This update supports a series of Facility/Campus management apps currently under development. For many who have already begun to use the features in this dataset, you’ll find we’ve done some pretty extensive work on the data model for features like, signs, streetlights, and signals. In addition, we’ve incorporated portions of the Building Interior Space Data Model (BISDM) to support building/interior space management and extended it to support exterior features found on government grounds, parks, and even campuses. Much of this work will also support Public Works apps that require information about paved areas, pavement markings, poles, signs, signals, etc.
This update to the information model also supports a new campus basemap we will release later this summer. When you begin to use this information model, you will be able to produce a great basemap for your government facilities, downtowns, and campuses.
The new campus basemap with sample data from the Esri Campus
This release of the local government information model also includes a series of more minor updates.
Minor Updates:
The Parcel Fabric, contained in the ParcelEditing feature dataset now supports the active management of PLSS Sixteenth Sections. A new parcel type was added to the ParcelType domain to accommodate this requirement.
The ParkRecInfo table was added to the local government information model to support the Parks and Recreation Finder application currently under development.
The ServiceRequest feature class in the CitizenService feature dataset now supports the creation of service requests within buildings. The building floor and interior space attributes were added to the feature class to support Facilities Management applications currently under development.
Known Issues:
There are a few known issues we’re working to resolve in future releases.
Your imagery and surface models must be added to this schema manually.
Layer Packages (LPKs) do not currently support standalone tables in the geodatabase. After you’ve created your schema, please copy the ten stand alone geodatabase tables from the sample dataset in a recent application download. Refer to the Data Dictionary for a complete list of the standalone tables you’ll need to complete the Local Government Information Model.
If you are using ArcGIS Desktop SP1, the ParcelType domain will have to be applied to the Type field in the Parcel fabric class manually after you create your schema.
Quick Summary:
We continue to evolve the local government information model as we add new maps and apps to the ArcGIS for Local Government system. Your feedback is vital. So don’t hesitate to let us know what you think about the information model and what maps and apps will help you in your local government.
We’ve got some exciting things coming this summer and early fall so keep a close eye on the Local Government Blog or follow us on Twitter if you’d like to learn more about how ArcGIS for Local Government can help you effectively deploy GIS.
New release of Infrastructure Editing Map

4:05 – 4:25 – ArcGIS for Land Records – Improving Data Quality
This session will provide an introduction to a set of tools provided with the ArcGIS Desktop Parcel Editor toolbar to improve the accuracy of parcel data.
Each of these Tech Workshops will be an opportunity for you to interact directly with individuals from Esri who are responsible for developing ArcGIS for Local Government and the maps and apps provided in each module. We’re excited to hear directly from ArcGIS for Local Government users and want your feedback.
If we miss you at one of the Tech Workshops, stop by the Industry Islands or catch us on Twitter during the conference.
Enjoy the UC and we look forward to seeing you there.
