Uses

Insurance

Parcel boundary data is applicable to several insurance applications, including underwriting and claims management. Used in combination with First American's PxPoint geocoder and hazard data, insurance underwriters can determine the precise location of a policy holder and understand the relative risk for the parcel. Additionally, following a catastrophic event, claims management can align parcel data with satellite imagery to assess damage and accurately locate policy holders.

Flood Determinations

The inaccurate assessment of flood risk can be costly. Using parcel boundary data in combination with other spatial data, such as elevation, flood certifications can be automated to accurately determine the likelihood of flood risk for an entire parcel.

Real Estate

More and more real estate buyers and sellers are relying on the Internet to search properties. With parcel boundary data, buyers can accurately locate property for sale and learn more about the surrounding geography.

Service Territories

Cable and satellite television companies, as examples, can align service territories to parcel boundaries to more precisely define their service areas.

Tax

In many industries, taxes are collected based upon the physical jurisdiction of the service address. Using PxPoint, parcel boundary data and spatial taxing jurisdiction databases, companies can improve the accuracy of assigning tax jurisdictions.

Utilities
