The Universal Parcel Identifier (UPI) Workgroup develops a model to apply a distinct identifier to any real property, allowing consumers of property records to more accurately store, track and utilize real estate data. The group leverages existing models from public records and other data standards organizations to build an efficient standard for the real estate industry.
The benefits of a UPI include easier parcel identification across market boundaries, the unification of public records from multiple sources in one display and faster updates to physical property characteristics records.
UPI Repository
RESO’s goal is a model that identifies greater than 90% of properties across the United States, with extensibility that allows the model to be viable internationally.
When public records information is sufficient to uniquely identify properties, a service can be implemented to search for properties via the UPI. This service would be hostable by any technology company with sufficiently available public data, address data and other filtering ability.
Since the ID itself is based on public records, any data steward should be able to provide the same ID for the same property. | SPECIFICATION
The UPI Workgroup no longer meets on a regular basis. If there is new business to discuss, the group will reconvene, and all workgroup members will be notified of the meeting well in advance. | JOIN A RESO WORKGROUP
