Regrid Data Toolboxes for ArcGIS Pro Quick Start

Welcome to the support page for the Regrid Data Toolboxes, designed for Regrid Feature Service (FS) customers to streamline and scale up parcel data operations in ArcGIS Pro.

The toolboxes allow you to efficiently complete large-scale analyses (multi-state or nationwide) by intelligently handling the technical constraints and query limits of high-volume geoprocessing.

Download & Installation

The Regrid Data Toolboxes are provided as standalone Python Toolbox (.pyt) files for easy integration with ArcGIS Pro.

Prerequisites

📦 Download

Toolbox Name Description Download
Regrid Parcel Data Toolbox Tools for core parcel tasks: Regrid ID (ll_uuid) Matching and GEOID Spatial Selection Looper
Regrid Add-on Data Toolbox Tools for Regrid Premium Add-on datasets (e.g., Standardized Zoning JSON Parsing)

🛠 Installation

  1. Save the Files
    Download the .pyt file(s) and save them to a permanent local folder (e.g., C:\Regrid_Toolboxes).
  2. Open ArcGIS Pro
  3. Click on the Insert tab from the Catalog Pane
  4. Add Toolbox
    From the Insert tab, click Toolboxes > Add Toolbox.
  5. Browse to File
    Navigate to the folder where you saved the .pyt file and select it.
  6. Confirm
    The toolbox (e.g., Regrid Parcel Data Toolbox) will now appear under Project Toolboxes and is ready for use.

Tool Overview

🚧 Problem Solved: Scalability in ArcGIS Pro

ArcGIS Pro can struggle with the scale of Regrid’s nationwide Feature Service (millions of polygon records). These toolboxes apply:

  • Data chunking
  • FIPS-based iteration
  • Efficient filtering

…to help you avoid server timeouts, overloaded queries, and manual scripting.

🧰 Tool Index & Use Cases

Tool Name When to Use It Solves This Problem
Regrid ID Match You have a CSV of Regrid IDs (ll_uuid) and need to extract those parcels FS limits when matching thousands of IDs in one query
GEOID Spatial Selection Looper You want to spatially select parcels using an input layer that spans many counties or states Single large requests fail due to server load
Standardized Zoning Add-on Parse JSON You are using the Standardized Zoning Add-on and want to find parcels that permit a specific land use (e.g., "retail") via permitted_land_uses JSON field Manually parsing JSON attributes natively in ArcPro

Tool Instructions

🔧 Regrid Parcel Data Tool 1: Regrid ID Match

Match a large list of Regrid UUIDs from a CSV to the parcels in the Feature Service — in efficient, safe chunks.

Parameters

Parameter Input Type Guidance
CSV Table Path File (.csv) CSV file with a column named ll_uuid
Regrid Parcel Layer Feature Layer Use dropdown menu to select the Regrid Feature Service layer already added to your map
Output Layer Name Text (Optional) Name for the output feature class (default: matching_layer)

regrid_id_tool

Workflow

  1. Load the Regrid Parcel Feature Service into your ArcGIS Pro map.
  2. Launch Regrid ID Match from the Regrid Parcel Data Toolbox.
  3. Provide the required inputs and click Run.
  4. The tool will validate and process in batches of 1,000 UUIDs.
  5. Output will be added to your map, any failed matches will be reported in the messages panel.

Errors and Troubleshooting Tips

  • The tool requires the input CSV to have a column labeled ll_uuid
  • Invalid IDs will be automatically skipped and logged in the error output message
  • This tool has been tested and validated with an input CSV list as big as 460,000

🔧 Regrid Parcel Data Tool 2: GEOID Spatial Selection Looper

Select parcels by spatial relationship across multiple counties by iterating on the GEOID (FIPS Code).

Parameters

Parameter Input Type Guidance
Input Layer Feature Layer The features (polygons or points) you're using to select parcels
Regrid Feature Layer Feature Layer The live parcel Feature Service
GEOID Field in Input Text (Required) Can be any field name in your layer with county GEOIDs (e.g., FIPS, GEOID10)
Regrid GEOID Field Text (Fixed) Always geoid

geoid_tool

Workflow

  1. Ensure both layers (input & Regrid) are added to your map.
  2. Run GEOID Spatial Selection Looper from the Parcel Toolbox.
  3. The tool will:
    • Detect unique GEOIDs in the input layer
    • Filter both datasets per GEOID
    • Perform a spatial selection for each
  4. Output is a single feature class with all intersecting results merged and added to your map.

Errors and Troubleshooting Tips

  • Because the tool is batching county requests, it may run for a long time if a lot of counties are included in the input dataset.
  • If your input dataset includes parcel-dense counties (i.e., Cook county home of Chicago, Illinois), the tool may be forced to skip that county due to the high volume of parcels in the request.
  • Under this scenario it is advised to process these counties separately using Esri's processing extent under Environments and use the Regrid tool for all other input locations.

🔧 Regrid Add-on Tool 1: Standardized Zoning Add-on Parse JSON

Search Regrid’s Standardized Zoning Add-on for permitted land uses (e.g., “parking”) and return matching parcels.

🧾 Parameters

Parameter Input Type Guidance
Standardized Zoning Feature Layer Feature Layer Standardized Zoning Add-on (contains permitted_land_uses JSON field)
Parcels Feature Layer Feature Layer Premium Regrid Parcel Layer (includes zoning_id and geoid)
GEOID Filter Text GEOID (FIPS code) for the county AOI (e.g., 42003)
Search Term Text Case-insensitive land-use keyword (e.g., parking)

zoningaddon_tool

Workflow

  1. To run Parse JSON from the Regrid Add-on Toolbox.
  2. Enter the county GEOID and the land-use term.
  3. The tool will:
    • Identify relevant zoning IDs matching your search
    • Find parcels with those zoning IDs within the specified GEOID
  4. Output is a parcel feature class containing the matched zoning IDs.

Errors and Troubleshooting Tips

  • Input handles one GEOID and one search term per tool run

Feedback & Continuous Improvement
