Frequently Asked Questions

Where is the property data sourced?

Our property data originates from more than 3,600 county assessor offices across the United States.

What is a property lookup tool?

A property lookup tool aggregates and presents a wide array of publicly available property information. Companies use these tools to enrich or profile their client’s property records. Melissa’s Property API provides comprehensive information for over 150 million properties across the US – including deed and homeowner data.

What are the benefits of using a property lookup tool?

Using a property lookup tool gives you access to reliable property information from across the U.S. You can view estimated home values, building/parcel specifics, and pinpoint properties that meet your business criteria.

Melissa’s property API also provides the capability to standardize addresses, identify property owners, uncover mortgage or deed history, and enable lookups to auxiliary services like our Personator U.S. tool to further enrich your data. It's an efficient tool that enables users to build an accurate and comprehensive profile for a property or its owner.

Why do some addresses return less information than other addresses?

Different counties and even different offices within the same county will vary in what they collect and how they report it. Due to this variability there may be regional differences in the information provided for properties.

How often is the data updated?

The data is updated weekly with whatever changes we’ve received within that week. However, the frequency of updates can vary greatly between the individual county offices. Generally, tax assessments may occur on fixed multi-year intervals or only when certain criteria are met; such as a property being sold, improved upon, or otherwise in need of re-assessment.
