Property Parcels
Boundaries of every real estate property parcel in Philadelphia, drawn from legally recorded deed documents. The Department of Records maintains the layer and republishes it weekly.
607,957 polygons cover the city. Each row carries a registry identifier (basereg, mapreg), a parsed street address, and flags for condominium units and stacked parcels. geoid is the Geographic Unique ID, and pin the parcel identification number.
Parcels are the join key for most Philadelphia property data. opa_id in the vacancy collections and parcel_id_num in building footprints both point back here. See AGENTS.md for queries that run.

Processing Notes

Known Issues
37 of 607,957 rows have no geometry.
muniment_type, muniment_id, separated_rights, dor_review, opa_review, pwd_review, matchflag, and the integer status are undocumented. Their field aliases repeat the column name and the city metadata portal returns no reachable data dictionary. They are carried as published rather than guessed.
status holds 1 (571,350 rows), 2 (33,856), 3 (2,722), 4 (7), 5 (6), and null (11). The meaning of each code is not published.
