Parcel Service

Introduction

In collaboration with the Department of Planning we have written a restful parcel service. This page describes that service.

Data Concurrency

The parcel data are updated every weeknight. Because these updates rely on lots of moving parts, they will fail a few times a year. We actively monitor this and usually have everything fixed for the next business day.
