Florida Property Records Scraper — Owner, Absentee, Tax & Sale Data

858,000+ Florida parcels with the owner's name, the owner's mailing address, the physical property address, assessor values, sale history and building characteristics.

Straight from each county property appraiser's own bulk export. No API key, no login, no third-party data reseller in the middle — and no monthly subscription to a property data platform.

Counties covered: Hillsborough (531k parcels) and Pasco (326k parcels) — Tampa, Brandon, Riverview, Plant City, Valrico, Lutz, Temple Terrace, Ruskin, Apollo Beach, New Port Richey, Wesley Chapel, Land O' Lakes, Zephyrhills, Hudson and Dade City.

What people use this for

• Absentee owner lists. One switch returns only parcels where the owner's mailing address differs from the property address. Both addresses come from the tax roll, so it is exact rather than inferred.
• Out-of-state owner leads. Separate switch for owners who receive mail outside Florida.
• Direct mail campaigns. Every record carries a deliverable owner mailing address taken from the county's own tax-notice file.
• Skip tracing input. Owner name plus mailing address plus property address is exactly what a skip trace provider needs as its starting record.
• Absentee & non-homestead targeting. Exclude homestead-exempt parcels to drop owner-occupied primary residences.
• Long-held property. Filter for parcels whose last recorded sale predates any year you choose.
• Companies vs. people. Owner names are classified as individual or entity (LLC, corp, trust), so you can target either.
• Market research and comps. Values, land and building split, living area, year built, lot size and sale history, wherever the county records them.

How fresh is it

Each county republishes its full roll on its own cycle — Hillsborough daily, Pasco every few days. Every run downloads the current file and reads it end to end, so you get what the assessor has now, not a cached copy from a broker.

Runtime is roughly 1–2 minutes for Hillsborough and 4–5 minutes for Pasco (its file is a large spreadsheet rather than a database export). Give the run a timeout of at least 600 seconds if you select both. Memory stays flat regardless of how many parcels you pull, because both files are streamed.

Notes and limits — please read

• appreciationSinceSalePct is not equity. It is the change in assessor value since the last recorded sale. Public rolls do not contain mortgage balances, so no dataset built from them can tell you real equity. Treat a high number as "there may be room here", not as a payoff figure.
• No phone numbers or email addresses. County tax rolls do not carry them. Owner name and mailing address are what the public record provides. Use a skip trace service if you need contact numbers.
• Sale price is often $0 or nominal. Quit claims, family transfers and foreclosure deeds are routinely recorded at $0 or $100. Where there is no usable sale price, appreciationSinceSalePct is null rather than an invented number.
• Field coverage differs by county. Hillsborough publishes bedroom and bathroom counts; Pasco does not, so those come back null. Pasco publishes a homestead-exemption flag and a pool flag; Hillsborough does not. Nothing is guessed to fill a gap. Land area is recorded in acres by Hillsborough and in square feet by Pasco, so acreage and lotSizeSqFt are both filled by exact conversion (43,560 sq ft per acre): converted, not estimated.
• Two counties, not the whole state. Every Florida county publishes in a different format. More counties are being added.
