Point-level matching

Point-level matching locates the center of the actual building footprint or parcel. This is the most accurate type of geocode.

If you are licensed for the point-level data option, you do not need to execute any additional initialization or setup for your system to begin using the point-level data. Spectrum Enterprise Tax automatically processes your address lists through the point-level data.

When processing address lists, Spectrum Enterprise Tax first searches for a match in the point-level data. If it cannot find an exact match in the point-level data, Spectrum Enterprise Tax continues searching for a better match in the street network data. Spectrum Enterprise Tax returns the best match found, with preference given to matches from the point-level dataset.

Note: Point data must be used in conjunction with a standard street data set.
