The next type of information you define is the layout and content of the records that GeoTAX writes to the output files. You specify locations, lengths, and sometimes formats for the following types of data elements:

  • Latitude and longitude information

  • Core Based Statistical Area codes (CBSAs) and names

  • Minor Civil Divisions (MCDs)/Census County Divisions (CCDs) codes and names

  • Census codes, such as state, county, place, Census Tract, Block Group, and Block ID

  • Tax rate data such as state, county and municipality sales and use tax rates when using the optional Precisely Tax Rate reference file

  • User-defined information stored in the Landmark Auxiliary or User Auxiliary files

You define some or all of these parameter records, as shown in the highlighted area in the example screenshot below, depending on your processing requirements.

Note: GeoTAX creates output records by first copying the input record to the output area then reading all output parameter records and writing the data elements they describe to the desired locations.When defining output locations for your data elements, it is easy to accidentally overwrite input data you want to preserve with output data. Unless you intentionally want to overwrite input data, you should specify locations for your output elements beyond the input data.
