Associate, copy, or move reference data with parcels
After you create parcel records, you can associate reference data to them, view reference data, copy/move reference data between two genealogically related parcels, and remove associated reference data from parcels as needed. Reference data includes addresses, owners, structures and establishments.
Based on your agency’s user group settings, you may or may not have access to all the features described in this section. Contact your agency administrator for more information.
You can track relationships between reference parcels and reference records of other types by associating the reference records to parcels.
