Orientation

The first two items listed below are slightly different versions of the most current property-assessments records. The first is optimized for faster download but has 1) a few fields (including PROPERTY_ZIP and MUNICODE) as integers instead of strings and 2) the date columns in two different formats. The second item downloads more slowly, is optimized for API queries, and has all dates in a standard YYYY-MM-DD format. Further down you can find useful links, documentation, and then archived versions of property assessments files.
