tax_jurisdiction
The jurisdictions that govern a property for tax purposes, and the identifier each of them uses for it.
The Tax Jurisdiction class captures detailed information about the various tax authorities that govern a property.
The question it answers
Will this close cleanly?
Liens, encumbrances, tax position, and association obligations determine whether a transaction completes and on what timeline.
Why it matters
The same parcel carries a different identifier in each authority's records — one in the county assessment roll, another in the municipal levy, a third in the school district's file. Holding those identifiers together is what allows three independently published records to be reconciled to one property.
In practice
Jurisdiction boundaries do not follow county lines and do not always follow municipal ones. A parcel can sit inside a fire district and a water management district that each publish separately, which is why the class holds a set rather than a single governing body.

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.
