}About the manateepao.gov API
The Manatee County Property Appraiser API provides 4 endpoints covering parcel search, property detail retrieval, sales history, and multi-family sales comparables for properties in Manatee County, Florida. The search_properties endpoint accepts filters including DOR land use code, owner last name, zip code, sale price range, and sale date to return matching parcels with owner names and situs addresses.
Property Search and Parcel Lookup
The search_properties endpoint accepts up to eight filter parameters simultaneously, including dor_code for DOR Land Use classification (e.g., 01 for single-family, 03 for 10+ units), situs_address for partial or full property address matching, sale_price_low for a minimum sale price threshold, and sale_date_start in MM/DD/YYYY format. Results return a count of total matching parcels alongside an items array containing Parcel ID, Property Type, owner names, situs address, and postal city.
Parcel Detail and Building Characteristics
The get_property_detail endpoint takes a single parcel_id and returns a structured object with fields covering land_use (DOR code and description), land_size in both acres and square feet, building_area, living_units, neighborhood code and name, subdivision, owner_type, ownership (semicolon-separated owner names), situs_address, and parcel_id. This is the primary endpoint for pulling appraiser-level parcel characteristics rather than transaction data.
Sales History and Multi-Family Comparables
The get_property_sales endpoint retrieves every recorded transaction for a given parcel_id, returning fields including Sale Date, Sale Price, Grantee, Instrument Type, instr_desc, qual_desc, and deed book/page references (BOOK, PAGE). For multi-family analysis, search_multifamily_sales_comparables targets DOR codes 03 and 08 and accepts units_low, sale_date_start, and a limit parameter. Each result embeds a full sales_history array alongside year_built, units, address, property_type, and owner — making it usable directly for comp analysis without a secondary lookup.

Does the Manatee County Property Appraiser office provide an official developer API?+
What does `search_multifamily_sales_comparables` return that `search_properties` does not?+
sales_history array — including Sale Date, Sale Price, Grantee, Instrument Type, and book/page — directly in each result. search_properties returns basic parcel identifiers without transaction records, requiring a separate get_property_sales call per parcel.Does the API cover assessed values or taxable value estimates?+
Is the sales history in `get_property_sales` complete for all recorded instruments, or only arm's-length sales?+
qual_desc (qualification code description) and instr_desc (instrument type description) so you can filter out non-qualified transfers such as foreclosures, family deeds, or corrective instruments on your end.
