How do I look up a property owner by address?
- Geocode the address to latitude and longitude (any geocoder works).
- Call `search_parcels` with the coordinates. The default `parcel` field includes owner name and mailing address.
- For bulk work, call `search_properties` with `taxAssessor.ownerName` (contains match) or `taxAssessor.likelyRenterOccupied`.
A walkthrough without any API: how to find a property owner by address.
How does Parceled flag rental properties?
The likely renter-occupied signal is true when the owner is a business entity or the owner's mailing street differs from the property street. It is a heuristic, not a lease record, and it is only computed where the county publishes owner mailing addresses.
Can I use owner data for marketing?
Owner names and mailing addresses are public record and are widely used for direct mail. Phone and email outreach is regulated separately (TCPA, CAN-SPAM, Do Not Call), and some states limit commercial use of assessor rolls. You are responsible for complying with the laws that apply to your use.
How do I get started?
- AI agents: add the MCP server `https://www.parceled.ai/api/mcp` to Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor or any MCP client. OAuth runs automatically. See install.
- Developers: create a free key with one request: `curl -X POST https://www.parceled.ai/api/v1/accounts -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d '{"email":"you@example.com"}'`.
- Check coverage first: `check_availability` (MCP) or `GET /api/v1/check-availability?lat=..&lng=..` is free and tells you which datasets exist at a location before you pay.
The free tier includes 100 API calls and 5,000 map tile requests a month. After that, credits cost $0.01 each and you are only charged for fields that return data. Full reference: docs.
Frequently asked questions
Can I find all properties owned by one person or company?
Yes, within a county, ZIP code or map area: pass `taxAssessor.ownerName` to `search_properties`. Nationwide owner-name searches are not supported.
Does Parceled include owner phone numbers or emails?
No. Parceled returns owner names and mailing addresses from public records. Hail Pro, the roofing app built on Parceled, offers phone and email enrichment for its users.
