Description
This application aims to fill a gap in the City of Philadelphia's Office of Property Assessment (OPA) web site: the ability to search by owner. Currently, the OPA web site enables you to search by address and view the owner information, tax balances, etc. as it is all public record, but it does not allow you to search by owner.
This application was developed by several people as part of the
Philly Tech Week Hackathon including:
- Adam Hinz
- Joanne Cheng
- Tim Wisniewski
- Mjumbe Wawatu Poe
- Gil
The API accepts two parameters:
- owner (req) - part of the name of the owner, returns possible owner matches
- exact (opt) - if specified owner must exactly match a valid owner, returns all db information about the specific owner
