# Parcel record for an address

`GET /api/v1/parcel`

## Request

- Base URL: `https://fronterasignal.com`
- URL: `https://fronterasignal.com/api/v1/parcel`
- Auth: none required

Use when you have a Hidalgo County, Texas street address and need its parcel record before an offer, a loan or a site visit: parcel id, property class, acres, year built, building size, last deed, values, taxing units and the owner if it is a company or public body (people are withheld). /api/v1/parcel/match checks for free first; a miss is a 404 and is not charged. Example: "What is the parcel id, building size and market value of 800 S 10th St, McAllen?"

Returns: The Hidalgo County parcel at a street address: parcel and map ids, property class, acres, year built, building square feet, last deed date and type, market, appraised and assessed values with their date, taxing units, the owner when it is an organization, and flood map status.
