Method and system for retrieving and serving regulatory history for a property

摘要

Described are methods and systems for retrieving and serving the regulatory history of a property. For example, an identification of data sources for permits and approvals is stored in a computer system. Property identifiers from the data sources are stored in the computer system. The system identifies the types of permit and approval data available from each of the data sources for each of the property identifiers. A determination can be made of the completeness of the regulatory history available for each property associated with each of said property identifiers. The system receives a request for the regulatory history of at least one of the properties associated with the property identifiers. A web page may be populated with a list of the regulatory history for the property.

1. A system for retrieving and serving the regulatory history of a property, comprising:
a plurality of remote computers having land use based regulatory history data associated therewith, and having respective data sources associated therewith, wherein the plurality of remote computers include at least a first remote computer having a first data source associated therewith and a second remote computer having a second data source associated therewith; a third remote computer having a third data source associated therewith that is different from each of the first data source associated with the first remote computer and the second data source associated with the second remote computer; a communications network; and a local computer selectively coupled to said plurality of remote computers and said third remote computer via said communications network, said local computer being configured to
communicate with said plurality of remote computers over said communications network to build a local database,store, in the local database, the data sources,retrieve a plurality of real property identifiers from said plurality of remote computers over said communications network based upon the data sources, each of the plurality of real property identifiers having land use based regulatory history data associated therewith,search the local database for a given real property based upon a given real property identifier associated therewith to determine which of said plurality of remote computers has land use based regulatory history data available for the given real property,determine whether the land use based regulatory history data available for the given real property at least one of exceeds a threshold amount of land use based regulatory history data and includes at least one of the data sources being from a predetermined one of said plurality of remote computers,retrieve land use based regulatory history data from said third remote computer over said communications network based upon at least one of the retrieved plurality of real property identifiers when at least one of the land use based regulatory history data available for the given real property does not exceed the threshold amount and at least one of the data sources not being from the predetermined one of said plurality of remote computers, andprovide the land use based regulatory history data for the given real property to a user interface.
