A boundary adjustment (or lot line adjustment) is the movement of one or more lines between land parcels.

Boundary Adjustment Visualization

In VertiGIS FM Parcel, the you can document this type of adjustment using the boundary adjustment workflow, which changes the Area [m2] property of a land parcel in your database.

Land Parcel Area [m2] Field

If a land parcel does not have any existing change certificates associated with it, you can also change its Area [m2] property by editing the land parcel. If a change certificate has already been made effective for a land parcel, you can only edit its area by creating a boundary adjustment change certificate for it.
