CLIP ID: Connecting real estate data with precision
We assign every U.S. property a unique CLIP ID —Cotality’s Integrated Property ID. This unique property identifier, powered by CoreAI, connects all records related to a property across our data sources, even if that property is not yet listed in government property records or public tax databases.
By linking records, CLIP provides a 360° property view, giving you a complete and accurate perspective of each property. It helps clean up messy data, fills in missing details, and brings everything together through seamless property data integration.
CLIP empowers you to stop guessing, reduce errors, and work with property data that's complete, connected, and ready to use.
Get 360° property view
By resolving conflicting data across addresses, parcels, and geocodes—even for properties not yet in government property records—CLIP delivers a 360° view of every property that’s complete, connected, and ready to use.
Understand property through every change
From parcel splits to APN changes, CLIP maintains a clear, persistent record, to keep your workflows moving and insights coming. This level of property data integration helps you understand each property through every transition.
Enrich your data, expand what's possible
With CLIP, you can seamlessly connect your datasets to the most comprehensive property records available through Cotality, so you can analyze with precision and uncover what others miss.

Clarity for every property
CLIP gives you a better way to work with data — resolve data discrepancies, link property data across datasets, create one trusted view for every property, and replace complexity with clarity.
CoreAI-based matching
CLIP uses advanced AI to link and standardize property records, even those not yet reflected in tax-rolls, so you can identify, analyze, and act with confidence.
Persistent through property changes
CLIP maintains property lineage and consistency through APN changes, parcel splits/merges, and boundary shifts—ensuring stable and traceable records.

FAQ
What is CLIP ID and why is it needed?
CLIP is Cotality’s property identifier — a CoreAI-powered, unique and persistent number for every U.S. property. Unlike addresses or parcel numbers, which are often inconsistent, incomplete, or duplicative, CLIP delivers a trusted, single source of truth that connects all property records — even if a property isn’t yet in tax-roll data.
How is CLIP different from addresses or APNs?
Addresses and Assessor’s Parcel Numbers (APNs) are often non-unique, change over time, and vary across jurisdictions. CLIP solves this by assigning each property a stable, persistent ID that reconciles discrepancies across formats, systems, and time — ensuring continuity and clarity even as properties evolve.
What types of properties does CLIP cover?
CLIP applies to all types of residential and commercial real estate across the U.S. — from vacant lots and single-family homes to office buildings, multi-unit condos, and properties not yet recorded in public datasets. If it can be bought, sold, or developed, CLIP can identify it.
How is CLIP ID generated and how accurate is it?
CLIP is built using CoreAI and a proprietary five-step algorithm that leverages over 157M+ parcels, 200M+ addresses, and 175M+ structures. It integrates deed records, permits, listings, geospatial data, and more to deliver unmatched accuracy and completeness — even in the face of messy or conflicting inputs.
Can CLIP be integrated into my existing datasets or systems?
Yes. CLIP IDs can be appended to your internal datasets and are embedded into Cotality’s datasets and solutions. This allows seamless integration, data deduplication, and enriched analysis across your workflows without overhauling existing systems.
Does CLIP replace existing property data?
No. CLIP doesn’t replace your data — it enhances it. By acting as a standardized, persistent identifier, CLIP links and reconciles disparate records across datasets, helping you extract more value, reduce duplication, and improve decision-making.
