How to Manually Determine Property Location Data in Applications

In some instances, gaps in the municipalities' Geographic Information System (GIS) database may prevent Cloudpermit from automatically locating a property. When this occurs, users have the option to manually enter the property address, roll number, and legal description into the application. Here's how to do it:

Steps to Manually Determine Property Location Data:

  1. Access Location Selection View:
    • Use Cloudpermit's interactive map with GIS to locate the property.
    • If the property is not found due to gaps in the GIS database, the "Location not found" message will appear in the location selection view.
  2. Manual Entry of Property Details:
    • Enter the address of the property in the provided address field.
    • If the GIS database cannot locate the address, click the link labeled "Location not found?".
    • Alternatively, try dragging on the map to find the location.
    • Once the property is selected on the map, the details will appear on the right. Continue until the correct property is identified.
    • Alternatively, manually enter the property address, roll number, and legal number.
  3. Proceed to Summary View:
    • Click "Next" to proceed to the "Summary" view.
  4. Finish and Create Application:
    • Click "Finish & Create" to finalize the application.
  5. Application Workspace Label:
    • Upon completion, you will be directed to the application workspace.
    • The workspace header will be labeled "User Input" in red, indicating that the property address was manually entered.
    • Additionally, a label stating "The primary property details were manually filled in" denotes that the applicant entered the roll and legal numbers.

Manually entering property location data allows users to overcome gaps in the GIS database when locating a property in Cloudpermit applications. The municipal department will review the application and make any necessary corrections to the property location details during the review process.
