Year: 2014

The Montgomery County (MC), Maryland Department of Technology Services - Geographic Information Systems (DTS-GIS) team, developed an ArcGIS based Unique Building Address Processor Program (UBAPP) to provide the Montgomery County Fire and Rescue Services (MCFRS) Computer Aided Dispatch (CAD) staff with the most accurate geographic and attribute data information and to improve address matching for attaining information about building addresses and locations. The UBAPP functionality includes geographical data display, and attribute information from DTS-GIS databases, including Montgomery County portion of the Maryland Motor Vehicle Administration (MVA) address records, centerlines, building footprints, and aerial photography. DTS-GIS staff uses this processor program to correct building addresses by referencing MVA records and in turn provides up-to-date geographic information and pin point accuracy for other county programs that use address matching/locations, such as and not limited to, MC 311, Board of Election Voter Registrants, MC Department of Finance MVA revenue, and MC Public School pupil registrants.
