New Jersey (NJ) property records data

Field fill rates in New Jersey
The share of residential parcels in New Jersey on which each field is populated. Owner name, mailing address, lot size, assessed value and coordinates are filled on effectively every parcel nationally and are omitted. The structure fields are the ones that vary, because they come from county field cards that not every county publishes.

What the New Jersey file is used for
- Loading the state into a warehouse or product under a bulk license
- Owner and mailing-address appends for New Jersey addresses
- Insurance underwriting inputs where the structure fields are filled, with the roof field supplemented from permit history because New Jersey counties publish it on ~20% of parcels
- Purchase, refinance and new-homeowner triggers from the recorder side of the file
New Jersey counties publish very few roof and construction codes. Year built and living area are well covered, and roof age for New Jersey is best taken from permit history where a roofing permit exists.
