Parcel geocoder that references PIN and owner name

AaronManuel2 — Wed, 09 Apr 2025 14:06:42 GMT

Hey all, I feel like I'm missing something obvious here but I can't figure out how to make a parcel role geocoder that searches both PIN and owner name.

I have a parcel feature that has the attributes most parcel features do - property owner, address, mailing address, etc.

How do I setup the field mapping so I can return results from both the owner name field and PIN field? It will only return whatever is mapped to Parcel Name. I'm sure I could make two parcel locators, and then create a composite on top but that seems a bit convoluted for something that seems like a simple problem.

Whats the most efficient way to do this? Thanks!

Now that I think about, I guess I could use the Parcel Role for PIN, and then use POI or some other role for owner name?

Is your input data composed of records that would have either PIN or Owner?

Would you want PIN to have higher priority to matching than Owner if a record has both attributes?

Hello Michael,

All the records have both a PIN and owner field. It would be either/or depending on how the end user wants to search. But if I had to set PIN as priority that would be ok.

@AaronManuel2 You can create a multirole locator using the Parcel role for the PIN and POI role for the owner name. You would be able to search for either PIN or Owner Name.

You can also use your original idea of creating a Parcel role locator for PIN and POI role for Owner Name locator and adding them to a composite locator.

Is your goal for the locator to use it for single address/owner name search or for batch geocoding a table?
