Applying Conditions to Parcels and Addresses

Agency staff can apply conditions to parcels and addresses so that users interacting with a property are notified of any issues with it.

Agency staff apply, modify, and resolve parcel and address conditions on the Conditions page. The Conditions page lists all of the conditions applied to the selected property, with applied conditions at the top followed by resolved conditions. The condition indicator at the top displays the most severe condition having a high priority. Click the All Conditions link at the top of the page to open a modal window that displays all the active conditions applied along with their severity, applied date, and display message.
