Related tools

resolve_jurisdiction — Use first when the user names a US address, a point, or a place: returns the jurisdiction chain (state, county, town or township, city, largest first) with jurisdiction_id values, and for each function (assessment, tax_collection, recording, zoning, permits, gis) the government body responsible, its office (phone, address, website) and up to 3 official pages.
find_official_resource — Use when the user needs a specific official page or office for a place: the parcel map, the tax bill page, the assessor, deeds, zoning, permits, septic, flood maps and the other topics.
get_place_directory — Use to see everything GISFinder lists for one place (a state, county, town, township or city) by jurisdiction_id: the responsible body per function, the place's own offices with contacts, and its own official resources grouped by topic in the order of the topic vocabulary.
search_directory — Use to find a place or an official resource by name when you do not have a location, for example "Hennepin County recorder" or "Sarasota zoning".
get_guide — Use to explain how something works in a state before sending the user somewhere: for example who assesses property, who collects the tax, where deeds are recorded, or how zoning is split between county and city.
get_property_facts — Use when the user asks about one property's parcel: parcel number, acreage, assessed value, last sale, land use, mapped zoning and flood, wetland and soil overlays for the whole parcel.
