Combines ~ Video

LandMark MUST BE RAN on the primary screen to allow the system to read values over.

Combining two or more parcels together.

When combining two parcels, outbuildings (if required on sketch) MUST BE DRAWN ON THE SITE PLAN, OR PARCEL SKETCH in the appraisal file.

Helpful Hint: When user combines two parcels using different valuing methods, (EX: one valued per lot and one valued per acre) two appraisal records will exist (one in acres and one in lots). UNLESS user makes the valuing method the same BEFORE combining.

From LandMark

Parcel combines are typically initiated from the Combine Utility in LandMark by selecting the Combine Map button. This will open MapAnalyzer in edit mode on the parcel layer, and the parent account will be selected. Click on the parcel(s) to combine with the parent and click the apply button.
