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 followed by resolved conditions. The condition indicator in the header of the details pages displays the most severe condition having a high priority. Click the All Conditions link next to the icon to open a modal window that displays all active conditions applied along with their severity, applied date, and display message.

Note: Deleting a parcel or address record in the property information automatically deletes any associated conditions that are applied to the permit or planning application you are working with. See the section Deleting a Property under Working with Property Information.

Applying a Condition to a Parcel or Address

  1. Click Parcel or Property Address on the agency springboard.

    Select a property.

    Click Conditions in the left panel.

  2. Click Apply Condition.

  3. On the Condition Details page, enter values for the following fields:

    Page Element

    Description

    Condition Name

    Use the lookup prompt to search and select the condition that you want to apply. The search page lists all the available conditions along with their severity, display message, and description.

    After you select a condition, the condition information is brought in as it was defined in the condition setup. You can override the default rules, priority, description, and additional information to customize the condition.

    For more information on conditions, see Setting Up Conditions.

    Display Message

    Displays the message associated with the selected condition. This message is entered by your agency administrator in the setup page and cannot be updated here.

    Severity

    LockHoldNotice

    Displays the level of severity defined for the selected condition.

    • Lock: This severity suspends all operations and selects all condition rules for the condition.

    • Hold: This severity enables agency staff to select the condition rules that apply to the condition.

    • Notice: This severity functions as an alert and has no effect on operations.

    Apply Condition to Transactions

    Applies the condition to new transactions that will be associated with the selected address or parcel. You turn off the switch if you want the condition to be applied only to the transaction you're working with.

    The condition setup determines whether this switch is turned off or on by default.

    For more information on setup and condition rules, see Setting Up Conditions.

    Include in-process transactions

    Turn on this switch if you want to apply the condition to the in-process transactions related to the parcel or address.

    This option appears only if the Apply Condition to Transactions switch is turned on.

    You can click the View Impacted Transactions link to view the list of transactions where the condition will be applied.

    Condition Rules

    Select one or more rules from:

    • Prevent Application Progress

    • Prevent Workflow Advancement

    • Prevent Issue or Final

    • Prevent Payment

    • Prevent Inspection Schedule (applicable only to permits)

    • Prevent Inspection Result (applicable only to permits)

    • Prevent Final Inspection (applicable only to permits)

    Condition rules are available for selection based on:

    • Condition setup: If the Apply Condition to Transactions switch is turned off, then only the Prevent Application Progress rule is available for selection.

    • Condition severity: For a condition with a Hold severity, you can accept the default rules or select different rules. For a condition with a Lock severity, all condition rules are automatically applied and can't be changed.

    See Setting Up Conditions.
