Data sources identification policy in iMapp

iMapp is data aggregator which collects the data directly from city, county, state/federal government sources, numerous data wholesalers and guarantees the possibility of data verification each time iMapp users require to check any information available in the sections.

You can check and get up to date information directly in data sources using the links, which are placed in iMapp data sections. Use these sources each time you need to add important details to your proposals, documents, etc. and these details should be verified or be up to date.

Property Information

Property Information section includes PID number, property address, current owner name, tax mailing address and many property details and legal definition data. If you need to verify this data before evaluating a property or filling legal forms, or you feel something is wrong with the data in the information box (it seems to you that it’s out of date), click on PID number link: you’ll be taken to county Appraiser/Assessor office details of that property item and will be able to see the full information directly in the data source.

It’s good to remember, that you may not be able to see all data available for the subject property in iMapp Property Information section, as the viewing dimensions in iMapp app are limited. Alternatively, we may provide some additional data the county office doesn’t display on their website. Regardless, you can verify most data this way.

Value Information

Value Information section in iMapp displays tax value data for the last 5 years, including just market value, taxable value and percent change. Tax information presented in this section can be also verified directly on county’s tax collector website. To get tax data of the subject property directly from the data source, find the link in the bottom of the Value Information section, and click Link To County Tax Collector. While the county Appraiser/Assessor tracks many property details and determines property valuation, the Tax Collector would set exact tax amounts and collect payments:
