Setting Up Parcels

A parcel of real estate is a tract or plot of land.

A parcel that is held by an owner is a property. A parcel location can be found on a map and is associated with a physical address. An owner or a contracted business can apply for a permit to develop or modify a structure on a parcel, or create a planning application for planning and zoning requests.

You add, modify, and delete parcels on the Parcel page.
