County Scraper

Why only 572 of 3,144 counties are live

There is no single national parcel database. Parcel records are published state by state — and often county by county — each with its own service, field names, and rules. A source goes live here only after a sample test proves it returns real parcels and at least half of them carry a usable street address. Everything else stays a draft, for one of these specific reasons:

✅ Live now — 16 sources, 12 states

Maryland, California, Ohio, North Carolina, Wisconsin, Arkansas, West Virginia, Washington, Utah, New Jersey, New Hampshire and Washington DC run county by county. Connecticut, Florida, Massachusetts and Vermont are live too — their state feeds are keyed by town rather than county, so the engine runs them by town.

⏸ Wired, but held as drafts — the address data is too thin

• Indiana — street address on only 42% of parcels
• Nebraska — 40%
• Idaho — 46%, and blank in some counties (values are complete)
• Wyoming — street address on only 34%
• Montana — 17%, plus duplicate rows per parcel
• Pennsylvania — sampled counties show 99% addresses, but the state service times out when listing all 67 counties from here; retry pending

🔧 A statewide feed exists — it needs a custom build

• Mississippi — its server refuses normal paging; needs a special window-by-window pull (82 counties)
• Maine & North Dakota — addresses and values live in a separate table that has to be joined to the parcels
• Minnesota — the address arrives in pieces (house number, street, city separately) and has to be assembled; about 60 of 87 counties report
• New York — the public feed covers 38 of 62 counties; a query quirk is being worked around
• Colorado — the state host won't connect from our network (44 of 64 counties are in the feed)

🚫 The feed has no street addresses

Alaska, Hawaii, Oregon, Rhode Island and Virginia publish parcel boundaries and IDs only — nothing to put in an address column. Delaware's statewide feed is ID-only too, and its server intermittently rejects requests.

⚖️ Legal hold

Nevada — the state's own service notes say the data cannot be shared outside the department under Nevada law (NRS 250), so it is deliberately not wired.

🗺 No statewide feed exists at all — 16 states

Alabama, Arizona, Georgia, Illinois, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Michigan, Missouri, New Mexico, Oklahoma, South Carolina, South Dakota, Tennessee and Texas publish parcels only county by county — 1,500+ separate county services. Tennessee's statewide service requires a token, Texas has queries switched off (bulk downloads only), and Illinois's statewide layer is still being built.

Every one of the 3,144 counties is already in the index above. Each group here is a known, specific job — coverage grows group by group, and nothing goes live until it passes the sample test.
