Property Attributes Assessment is primarily built from US county tax assessment data and contains more than 190 property attributes, covering more than 3,140 counties. This data is used to enrich and provide contextual information about an address location and contains features in the following categories:
- Owner (assessee) information
- Address information for both tax bill mail delivery and the physical property
- Physical property information such as assessor parcel numbers, state/county FIPS codes, land use and zoning codes, and latitude/longitude coordinates.
- Property legal description from the deed recording agencies
- Property and building characteristics including but not limited to land/building square footage, building amenities, building construction, and property viewshed information.
- Property tax assessment and sale information such as tax amount, homestead and sale/prior sale price information. Detailed deed information is provided in Property Historical Sales.
Property Attributes Assessment product is designed for interoperability with the full catalog of datasets in the Address and Property portfolio. It contains the PreciselyID (field name: PBKEY), a unique ID for an addressable location, used to link other datasets such as the Address Fabric, US Buildings, and Parcel Boundaries.
The product also includes a Change Log file to allow users to leverage the PAID to perform incremental updates with each release. The file layout is same as the Property Attributes Assessment product but includes an additional CHANGE_TYPE field that contains the following values:
- A - Add record
- D - Delete record
- U - Update record
These values help customers understand what actions are required to perform the incremental updates on their property database. To apply the Change file, follow the steps outlined in the topic Applying Change file data.
