KGIS manages one of the most complex parcel environments in Tennessee. The organization supports the City of Knoxville, Knox County, and the Knoxville Utilities Board, and maintains a database of more than 207,000 parcels. With this level of volume, the accuracy and structure of the parcel data directly affect daily operations, turnaround times, and long-term maintenance.
Sidwell partnered with KGIS to strengthen the foundation of their land records environment and reduce the time required to update and maintain parcel information.
The Work
Parcel Data Cleanup Services
We aligned and corrected the existing parcel dataset to support a smoother transition into a modern structure. Clean data ensures faster editing, more reliable analysis, and improved confidence in the integrity of the parcel layer.
Parcel Fabric Migration
Our team migrated KGIS into the modern Esri parcel fabric, supported by Parcel Administrator. This framework provides KGIS with a more efficient editing model, better version control, and greater long-term stability.
Why This Work Matters
Parcel data is the backbone of local government operations. When the data structure is outdated or inconsistent, everything moves slower. Cleanup and migration create clearer workflows and reduce unnecessary work.
KGIS now has a system that supports:
- Faster parcel editing
- More reliable maintenance
- Improved data accuracy
- A stronger foundation for future modernization efforts
These outcomes translate into meaningful time and cost savings, which was a key priority for the organization.
Strategic Impact
KGIS is positioned to support a more efficient land records workflow for years to come. Their updated parcel fabric structure makes it easier to manage high volumes of parcel data, and the cleanup effort ensures the new environment performs as expected.
Looking Ahead
Modernizing parcel management is not a one-time event. It requires a clear plan, reliable data, and trusted partners who understand how Esri technologies function in real government environments. Sidwell continues to support organizations of all sizes as they transition to modern land records systems that save time, reduce errors, and improve operational readiness.
