Assessor - Parcel Sales

<b>Update 10/31/2023:</b> Sales are no longer filtered out of this data set based on deed type, sale price, or recency of sale for a given PIN with the same price. If users wish to recreate the former filtering schema they should set <i>sale_filter_same_sale_within_365</i>, <i>sale_filter_less_than_10k</i>, and <i>sale_filter_deed_type</i> to False. Parcel sales for real property in Cook County, from 1999 to present. The Assessor's Office uses this data in its modeling to estimate the fair market value of unsold properties. When working with Parcel Index Numbers (PINs) make sure to zero-pad them to 14 digits. Some datasets may lose leading zeros for PINs when downloaded. Sale document numbers correspond to those of the Cook County Clerk, and can be used on the <a href="https://ccrd.cookcountyclerkil.gov/i2/default.aspx">Clerk's website</a> to find more information about each sale. NOTE: These sales <i>are</i> filtered, but likely include non-arms-length transactions - sales less than $10,000 along with quit claims, executor deeds, beneficial interests are excluded. While the Data Department will upload what it has access to monthly, sales are reported on a lag, with many records not populating until months after their official recording date. Current property class codes, their levels of assessment, and descriptions can be found <a href="https://prodassets.cookcountyassessor.com/s3fs-public/form_documents/classcode.pdf">on the Assessor's website</a>. Note that class codes details can change across time.
