What PropRaven adds
These describe PropRaven only. They are not claims about what PropStream does or does not offer.
- Building permits on the parcel
- Permit history matched to each parcel, collected from the cities and counties that publish permits. Coverage is uneven, and we publish how uneven: about 2.8% of served parcel records had a matched building permit on 2026-10-02, with a state-by-state table on the permit data API page.
- State-licensed firms
- A licensee firm search over the free bulk files of the state licensing boards in FL, CA, NY, CT, VA, AZ, OH, OR, NJ, WV: real-estate brokerages, insurance agencies (Florida), CPA firms and community-association managers, placed on the parcel where the address matches.
- Property-tax delinquency
- A parcel's tax-delinquency status as the treasurer or tax collector publishes it (delinquency rolls, lien-sale and tax-sale lists), in pilot jurisdictions only.
- Built for AI agents
- A hosted MCP server with 47 publicly listed tools, including free discovery tools that show what a parcel record would contain and cost before anything is bought, and pay-per-call over x402. See the MCP docs.
- Coverage stated honestly
- Per-state and per-county fill rates are published on coverage and each parcel data page, and the column catalog says which columns are rebuilt every epoch and which come from a reference export.
