Configure Parcel Value Analysis

Learn how to configure the Parcel Value Analysis solution to meet specific needs in your organization.

Load data 

Parcel Value Analysis can be used to share parcel, property sales, floodplain, and tax distribution information. In some cases, you may already have this information in ArcGIS or another business system.

Review the layers provided with the solution and determine what source data you want to load. Then, load your existing data into the layers provided with the solution before sharing the maps or applications.

Once you have determined what source data must be loaded, complete one or more of the data loading workflows below.

Load data from a shapefile  

Load data for TaxParcels, SiteAddresses, SchoolDistricts, and TaxParcelSales from a shapefile by completing the following steps:

1. Create a .zip file of your shapefile.

Load tax distribution information

To configure the Tax Distribution table in the TaxParcels layer in ArcGIS, you can use the sample .csv file included with the solution (TaxDistribution.csv).

To load tax distribution from a spreadsheet, complete the following steps:

1. Sign in to your ArcGIS organization and browse to the TaxDistribution item.
2. On the item details page, click Download.
3. Once downloaded, open the TaxDistribution.csv file and populate the Parcel ID, Total Tax, and Tax District distribution totals (in dollars).

   Note:

   After these tax values are populated, you can compute the percent of total tax dollars for each tax district and populate its corresponding Tax District % attribute, for example, (TXDIST1/TOTTX)*100 = TXDIST1PER or ($1500/$5000)*100 = 30%.

4. Alternatively, you can use ArcGIS Pro to populate these values based on their spatial relationship with tax districts.
5. In your ArcGIS organization, browse to the TaxParcels feature layer.
6. On the feature layer item details page, click Update Data and select Append Data to Layer.
7. Under Filename, click Choose File.
8. Browse to your .csv file and click Open.
9. Click Upload and Continue.
10. From Choose the layer that you wish to append data into, select the Tax Distribution table to load data into.
11. Uncheck Update existing features.
12. Click Show field matching to map the fields.
13. Map the Latitude field to the y-column and the Longitude field to the x-column.
14. Click Apply Updates.
