Append Parcels (Parcel)

Summary

Appends parcels from an input parcel fabric to a target parcel fabric. If the input parcel fabric is a parcel fabric layer with selected polygons, the corresponding parcel features will be appended.

Usage

  • Parcel types in the input parcel fabric should match the parcel types in the target parcel fabric. The parcel type names, however, can be different.

  • The schema of the input parcel fabric should match the schema of the target parcel fabric. User-added attribute fields should exist on the same parcel feature classes for both the input and target parcel fabric.

  • Duplicate parcel fabric records are not created. Record geometry in the target parcel fabric will be updated with the geometry of matching records from the input parcel fabric.

  • If the input parcel fabric layer has selected polygons, all corresponding parcel features and parcel records will be appended. This includes any connection lines that are connected to parcel points.

  • If the input parcel fabric has missing parcel lines or points, the parcel polygons will still be appended. Parcels can be built after data has been appended.

  • Parcel lines and points cannot be appended as stand-alone features using this tool. Use the Append tool to append parcel line or point features.

  • Duplicate parcel points are not created. Matching parcel points will be merged into a single points during the append process.

Syntax

arcpy.parcel.AppendParcels(in_parcel_fabric, target_parcel_fabric)
ParameterExplanationData Type
in_parcel_fabric

The input parcels that will be appended to the target parcel fabric. The input parcel fabric can be from a file geodatabase, an enterprise geodatabase or a feature service.

Parcel Layer
target_parcel_fabric

The target parcel fabric to which the parcels will be appended. The target parcel fabric can be from a file geodatabase or an enterprise geodatabase. On an enterprise geodatabase, parcels are appended to the default version.
