How Parceledger works.
Where the data comes from, how often it updates, and what a listing does — and doesn't — tell you.
How Parceledger works
From public listings to your records.
Where the data comes from
Parceledger aggregates listings advertised on public booking platforms and, with Plat, reconciles them against your county's own parcel records.
Update cadence
The market view refreshes on a quarterly cadence, so each cycle is a clean snapshot of what's advertised.
Approximate map locations
The booking platforms hide exact addresses, so map pins are approximate. Reconciliation to a parcel is what ties a listing to a specific property.
Advertised is not permitted
A listing means a property is advertised. Advertised is not a permit, and not a finding of violation — permit status is the county's to determine.
FAQ
Common questions.
Where does the data come from?
Listings come from public booking platforms. With Plat, those listings are reconciled against the parcel, deed, zoning, and tax records your county already maintains.
How current is it?
The market view refreshes on a quarterly cadence. Each cycle is a fresh snapshot of what's advertised in your county.
Why are map pins approximate?
The booking platforms don't expose exact addresses, so pins are placed approximately. Reconciling a listing to a parcel is what pins it to a specific property.
Does a listing appearing here mean it's in violation?
No. It means the property is advertised. Whether that's permitted is a separate question — reconcile it against your registry to find out.
How do we get our county's parcel data in?
Plat uses the records you already maintain — deeds, ownership, zoning, and tax. Share those records with us and we reconcile them against the listings. Contact us to start.
How do we get access or accounts?
Contact us and we'll get you set up. Self-serve accounts are coming.
