Is the authoritative source of addressing.

A ParcelAddress is a type of Richmond Address that must include: 1) The distinguishing attributes of a named thoroughfare, and 2) A numeric value used to position the location along the thoroughfare. These values correspond to building numbers where structures exist and are either interpolated or assigned from nearby streets where there are no structures.

A ParcelAddress is nearly always related to one or more Richmond real estate assessment records; Parcel Identification Numbers (PINs).

ParcelAddress features include: 1) All entities commonly known as street addresses and mailing addresses, 2) Structures where building numbers can be posted, 3) Vacant buildable lots, and 4) Condominium units.

ParcelAddress features do not include: 1) Vacant non-buildable parcels, 2) Most accessory buildings, and 3) Structural divisions such as apartment units that are not legally defined as condominiums.

A common characteristic of the ParcelAddress is that they are tied to a building’s separate front door(s). (A duplex, for example, should be modeled as two ParcelAddresses, instead of one ParcelAddress with two Subaddresses.)

Limited to City Addresses. The model does not attempt to include/manage county addresses.
