Delete Parcels (Parcel Tools)

Summary

Deletes the selected parcels from the input parcel fabric. If the parcel polygon layer has no selection, all parcels will be deleted.

Usage

Caution:

This tool modifies the input data. See Tools that modify or update the input data for more information and strategies to avoid undesired data changes.

  • Select the parcel polygons to select parcels.

  • The tool deletes the parcel polygons and the polygons' associated lines if the lines are not shared with any other parcel polygons.

  • The tool deletes points that meet the following conditions:

    • The points are not used by any other parcel, current or historic.

    • The points' attribute fields have not been populated with values. Points will still be deleted if the OBJECTID, Shape, GlobalID, Created By Record, Retired By Record, and editor tracking fields have values.

    • The Preserve and IsFixed fields are set to No.

  • After parcels are deleted, record polygons will be updated to match the cumulative shape of the remaining parcels associated with them.

  • Historic parcels will not be created.
