Hi, I am taking a look at recorder and it appears most of the doctypes are in 4 categories, deed of trust, warranty deed, grant deed, and quit claim deed. I was hoping for mortgage releases or mortgage reconveyance but these aren't doctypes in the recorder data dictionary. Does this version of recorder not include mortgage terminations? Have you tried getting the mortgage history dataset from ATTOM? Thanks.

Hey,

I was interested in the property use and zoning data in the Attom Tax Assessor dataset but could not find a codebook for some of the variables. For instance, the "PROPERTYUSESTANDARDIZED" column consists of numeric codes, but I do not know what these codes correspond to. Do you know if such a codebook is available? Thanks!

Hi, why are the values of the Latitude and Longitude "NULL" in the Assessor History dataset?

In order to get my download sizes under 5% (when downloading data from the Attom Tax Assessor dataset), I was previously using the filter for "MSANAME". However, when I use the exclude filter, it seems to ignore the MSA's I've listed (desired), but also ignore rows that are missing an MSANAME value (not desired, because I'm trying to get a complete universe of data). This either seems like a bug, or like a quirk that is not discussed anywhere, and could lead to incomplete datasets being downloaded. It seems intuitive to me that N/A values should be included when performing an 'exclude X value' filter, or to allow the inclusion/exclusion of N/A values as an additional filter. Is this something that can be addressed?

I've been downloading 5% increments of the Attom Tax Assessor data over the span of several days, but noticed that the column names have inconsistencies between the batches I download. For instance, the Attom ID column is labeled "_ATTOM_ID_" for my Utah sample, but labeled "X_ATTOM_ID_" for my Nevada sample, and labeled "ATTOMID" for my California sample. I also noticed that the property latitude and longitude seemed to be missing from a sample I downloaded covering AZ, CO, ID, and WY (even though I've been selecting all columns to be downloaded).

Hi,

Hi Dewey Team,

Did the data vendor give any information on the coverage of the attom recorder data, e.g., how large a fraction of home transactions are covered and whether the coverage differs by locations?
