Porter County Property Parcel Parser

The Porter County Indiana Property Tax Assessment website has limited searching/filtering functionality. This script scrapes it and pulls out the only the parcels with a Property Class of exempt and whose Property Class is 685.

More flexible filtering is possible, but it's probably YAGNI.

Usage

$ pip install -r requirements.txt
$ python pcppp.py

Then sit back, relax, and watch things starting popping up in the results/ folder.

Progress-Saving

Progress is saved in a json file in the results folder. If things crash, it will use that file to avoid re-parsing parcels that have already finished. If you'd like to restart everything, just delete the results/ folder.

Credit

And for the record, this script counts as a Christmas present to the person who would otherwise have had to sort through 272 pages manually. You know who you are, person, and expect payment in kisses.
