Property Data Management

GeoPlan provides a full suite of applications for managing municipal planning and zoning, permitting, and code enforcement operations. This page describes the Property Management modules.

Property data management forms the core of GeoPlan. The Property Management module organizes data pertaining to individual properties or parcels in your municipality. Basic parcel identification and ownership data can be easily imported from public records. Other important property data such as waste collection days, environmental hazards, and infrastructure availability can also be added to the database. Transfers of property ownership are quickly and easily updated in seconds.

Streamlined Access to Parcel History

GeoPlan includes features to help you review permitting and other activity histories for a specific parcel. Six notepads are available and can be customized to log notes from Planning Commission and Zoning Board meetings or anything else you wish to record and keep as part of the parcel record.

Parcel Classification Data

Each property can be categorized according to its zoning classification, census codes, land use, watershed, etc. These classifications are organized on the Classifications page, which also provides eight user-definable checkmark items which you can use to track additional classifications of importance to your municipality.

Create New Parcel Activity Records With Ease

Because the parcel is central to so many daily municipal activities, GeoPlan's Property Management module makes it easy to transfer data from a parcel record to other GeoPlan activity modules. Think of permitting, code enforcement, resident service requests, preparing lien letters - in each case the activity references a specific parcel. GeoPlan lets you link directly from the subject parcel record to issue a permit in the Permits module, a violation in the Code Enforcement module, to enter a service request, or to generate a new zoning appeal case. When you link from a parcel record to create a new record in another activity module, required data from the parcel record is automatically transferred to the new record. This feature saves you time, and because it eliminates data-entry errors, it helps to insure that accurate relationships are maintained between the parcel record and all associated activity records.

The Property Improvements screen, one of four data screens in GeoPlan's Property Management module, can be used to store and display multiple property images. Other screens present data on Property Ownership, Classifications, and History.

Map
GeoPlan's mapping is fully integrated with the application modules. While viewing a parcel data record, a single click produces a map view with the subject parcel centered in the map window.

Folder buttons on the History page give you instant access to the subject parcel's previous permits, owners, zoning appeals, violations, and service requests. And you can define the topics for memo notepads which are available to record free-form notations. You can also paste text from other documents and images into the notepads.
