Validate your tax parcel data

Data Reviewer for Tax Parcels contains quality control checks that can be used to assess the quality of a parcel fabric dataset.

Batch jobs (*.rbj) are quality control models that encapsulate validation information to be run against a data workspace. They are easily distributed and help ensure the use of consistent checks when validating data so that it conforms to your organization's specifications.

To validate the parcel fabric dataset, complete the following steps:

  1. In the TaxParcelEditingMap.mxd, start a Reviewer session using MapsandGeodatabase\DataReviewer.gdb as a Reviewer Workspace and name your Reviewer session Parcel Fabric Validation. Set the spatial reference to NAD_1983_HARN_StatePlane_Illinois_East_FIPS_1201_Feet (US Feet).
  2. Click the Reviewer Batch Validate button on the Data Reviewer toolbar and in the Batch Validate dialog box, do the following:
    • In Features to Validate, choose Full Database.

    • In the Batch Jobs area, uncheck the Recommended Lots and Unit, Recommended Points, and all optional group check boxes.
    • Click Validate All, then click Run.
