API Information

Version:v1.3.0
Region:US
Used for:Supporting property identification and data enrichment by resolving jurisdiction-specific Assessor's Parcel Numbers to related LightBox property entities.

Overview

The LightBox APN Lookup Service enables developers and analysts to locate property records using an Assessor's Parcel Number (APN). Because APNs are assigned by local assessing jurisdictions and may not be unique nationally, a County FIPS code can be supplied to help identify the appropriate jurisdiction and disambiguate results. APN lookup is particularly useful when a conventional property address is unavailable, such as for vacant land, agricultural parcels, and new development. The service returns references to related LightBox property entities, allowing an APN to serve as an entry point into additional LightBox property intelligence.
