We looked at Parcel Type Admin Boundaries in 2.6 and had some issues. Now that 2.8 is out I am looking at this again.
Business Case: Our administrative boundaries are managed by our cartographers (along with taxlots). Our admin boundaries are managed as taxcode areas. Taxcodes have a many-to-many relationship with a variety of taxing districts (fire, school, city, transit, etc.). Over 95% of the time these boundaries are coincident with taxlot boundaries. Changing of taxcode boundaries (annexations of any district) are initiated by a "legal" record of some kind. Every spring our cartographers process these annexations so that they are included in the next tax season valuation (Very simple overview)
Pros/Cons: The advantage of the admin only parcel type is the built-in nature of the record. I have built three different sets of custom business flows over the years to track and manage taxcode/district annexations. The parcel fabric record does all that for me (no coding - nice!). I have done a few simple business flow tests and it looks good.
Question: Who has implemented (or are their more detailed ESRI examples of) the Parcel Type as an Administrative Boundary? Unfortunately, I have not found a lot of documentation or examples where folks have implemented this (impacts on editing, topology rules, etc). I would like to get some links/contacts to help in my review and testing. I hope it is in some video that I just missed or that some user has some thoughts on this. I will continue to test.
