Parcel address & owner address

[JustineJedlicka]

Hi. I have parcel data that has a column for the parcel address and another for the owner address. I am trying to automate a way to differentiate the duplicates to determine which parcels are owner occupied and which are rental units.

Note - the data is not standard as in 88 Main St. and 88 Main Street or 1234 East 100 South and 1234 E 0100 S

Any scripts or suggestions?? THANKS!!

Hi GaiaEarth8

The general idea would be to geocode both addresses and union the two outputs then find the features with identical coordinates.  There are core GP tools for this.  If the format of your address information is not suitable for input to the Geocode Addresses tool then you may need to use a function available at SP1 (due out very soon) which lets the tool accept all address information concatenated into one field - which will save you some formatting time.  If you have trouble with all this email me (bharold at esri) with sample data and I'll take a look.
