# parcel # parcel The land parcel as the jurisdiction records it: its identifier, and the formatted variants of that identifier the source publishes. Represents a parcel of land with unique identifiers and formatted representations for property management and legal documentation purposes. The question it answers ## What is this house, physically? The feature vector, taken from the source of record rather than from a listing agent. Assessor and parcel records are authoritative; listing fields are agent-entered, inconsistent between markets, and absent entirely for a property that was never listed. Other classes answering this question ## Why it matters The parcel identifier is how a jurisdiction refers to a property in every record it keeps — the tax roll, the deed index, the permit file. Resolving one across those sources is what turns four unrelated documents into one property history. ## In practice Jurisdictions format the same identifier several ways. A county will publish a punctuated form on the assessor page, an unpunctuated form in a bulk file, and a third form in the clerk's index, so the class carries the formatted variants rather than picking one and losing the ability to match the others. ## Properties | Property | Type | Definition | | --- | --- | --- | | `source_http_request` | `object` | HTTP request configuration for retrieving this data. | | `request_identifier` | `string | null` | Identifier value that should be substituted into the source HTTP request to retrieve this specific data. | | `parcel_identifier` | `string` | Each parcel of land has a unique Parcel ID that distinguishes it from all other parcels within the jurisdiction. | ## Provenance and coverage A record of this class is validated against the same definition whatever jurisdiction it came from, which is what makes two counties comparable without a per-county adapter. A jurisdiction appears below only where a committed configuration serves this class's surface. - Lee, Florida - Palm Beach, Florida - Miami-Dade, Florida - Orange, Florida - Santa Clara, California How a new jurisdiction is brought online
