Correct Procedures for Entering an Address
When entering an address please use normal spacing - no punctuation is necessary. Directions are optional, as they do not always apply. Street names should be entered completely. The following street tags should be used. Failure to enter street tags correctly/completely may also result in listings not mapping properly on the flexMLS system or other web sites.
| Avenue AVE | Court CT | Parkway PKWY | Street ST |
| Boulevard BLVD | Drive DR | Place PL | Terrace TERR |
| Circle CIR | Lane LN | Road RD | Trail TL |
Highways with an alpha character (Cty Hwy B) should be entered as County Road B. Highways with a numeric character (Hwy 12) should be entered as State Highway 12 or US Highway 12. Enter the street name as it appears in the Tax Information records. If the property address contains both a N/S and E/W in the address enter as follows: N12W34467 MAIN ST
