Solution 1

Use attribute selectors...
https://api.jquery.com/category/selectors/attribute-selectors/[^]
|= used for prefix and $= for suffix...combine them and use them on the 'id' attribute...

I have used as $('textarea[id^="tcProperty_tab"]').filter('[id$="_Latitude"]').val($("#lbllatitude").text());
But it's not works.

Also have used
if ($('textarea[id^="tcProperty_tab"][id$=_Latitude]').lengt) {

$('textarea[id^="tcProperty_tab"]').filter('[id$="_Latitude"]').val($("#lbllatitude").text());
$('textarea[id^="tcProperty_tab"]').filter('[id$="_Longitude"]').val($("#lbllongitude").text());
}

Still not works..!

You should have something similar to this:
$('[id|="tcProperty_tab"][id$="streetName"]')

Not working..
var txtstreetname = $('[id|="tcProperty_tab"][id$="streetName"]');

alert(txtlatitude.length);
gives = 0

You (and me) have two errors...
You: case sensitivity... streetName vs StreetName - JavaScript (and therefore jquery) is case sensitive...
Me: I used |= instead of ^=...
