About US Municipal Open Data Discovery
Search the federated US Socrata catalog, inspect a selected dataset’s real portal-specific columns, and run bounded structured queries without passing raw URLs or raw SoQL. For common property due diligence, ParcelOps also provides a curated building-operations workflow across fixed permit, inspection, and violation feeds in Chicago, Seattle, Austin, San Francisco, and Los Angeles. Each result keeps its publisher, source, and license; contact fields are excluded and municipal coverage is never presented as complete.
⚠ Schemas, publishers, update practices, licenses, and attribution requirements vary by dataset.
