Spatial Matching

Match parcels to properties using geometry and location rather than identifiers (PIN/ARN).

Why Spatial Matching?

Toronto Open Data property boundaries lack PIN/ARN identifiers. Spatial matching uses geometry containment (point-in-polygon) and proximity to link parcels with properties based on their location coordinates.

Containment + Proximity

Match Parcels → Properties

For each unmatched parcel, find the property whose coordinates fall within the parcel boundary. Uses point-in-polygon test followed by proximity matching.

Match Properties → Parcels

For each property with coordinates, find the parcel that contains that point. This is useful when you have property records without parcel links.

Enrich Parcels with Address Points

Toronto Open Data provides an Address Points dataset with street addresses and coordinates. Upload this file to assign addresses to parcels that contain each address point. This enables fuzzy address matching for parcels that lack identifiers.
