Add, view, and associate owners
Civic Platform stores property owner information in the database. A property owner is any person, company, or organization that owns the parcel associated with an application. An application can have multiple property owners associations.
Depending on your privileges, you may be able to create new reference owner, and modify existing owner records in the database. However, you cannot delete owners from the database. Instead, you can disable owner records, which prevents users from associating those owners with new applications, while preserving any existing association with applications.
For other actions you can perform with owners, see:
You can add new owners to your reference database. After you add a reference owner, you can look up the owner when associating owners with a specific application.
