8 tools

• resolve_jurisdiction

  Use first when the user names a US address, a point, or a place: returns the jurisdiction chain (state, county, town or township, city, largest first) with jurisdiction_id values, and for each function (assessment, tax_collection, recording, zoning, permits, gis) the government…

• find_official_resource

  Use when the user needs a specific official page or office for a place: the parcel map, the tax bill page, the assessor, deeds, zoning, permits, septic, flood maps and the other topics. Choose the topic that fits the question. Give exactly one location: jurisdiction_id; address…

• get_place_directory

  Use to see everything GovDir lists for one place (a state, county, town, township or city) by jurisdiction_id: the responsible body per function, the place's own offices with contacts, and its own official resources grouped by topic in the order of the topic vocabulary. Each…

• search_directory

  Use to find a place or an official resource by name when you do not have a location, for example "Hennepin County recorder" or "Sarasota zoning". Matches names of places and resources; it is not a web search and never searches for people. Returns matching places (with…

• get_guide

  Use to explain how something works in a state before sending the user somewhere: for example who assesses property, who collects the tax, where deeds are recorded, or how zoning is split between county and city. Returns GovDir's plain-language guide for the topic, the state's…

• screen_location

  Use for a quick screening of one point: FEMA flood zone, mapped wetlands, soil map unit, elevation, radon zone and, in Minnesota, shoreland, each with its dataset, date, caveat and the office that decides. This is screening from public maps, never an official flood…

• get_property_facts

  Use when the user asks about one property's parcel: parcel number, acreage, assessed value, last sale, land use, mapped zoning and flood, wetland and soil overlays for the whole parcel. The facts come from PublicGIS (www.publicgis.com), a separate parcel map, not from GovDir…

• county_parcel_data

  Use when the user asks about many parcels in one county: the biggest or smallest parcel, the most valuable, how many parcels are over a size, recent sales, the oldest building, or average lot size. Send the question in plain words with the county or city named, for example…
