Public records, checked before your deadline.
CivicDelta gathers the official government records for one property, nursing home or surgeon into a single dated file: Cook County property tax appeal evidence, Chicago building permit history, nursing home inspection records in any state, and a surgeon’s Medicare procedure volume beside their peers. Every report starts with a free check that tells you whether there is anything worth paying for.
- Every figure carries its dataset, record ID and capture date.
- One flat price per report, and you can pay only after coverage is confirmed.
- “No records found” is reported as an answer, never as clearance.

The ten Cook County and Chicago datasets behind the Property reports
Before we load a dataset, we ask the publisher how many records to expect, and a load that doesn’t match is blocked. These are the rows published for the years we keep. The Health & Care and Hiring & Education reports use 15 more national and California datasets, listed on the Sources page.
Assessed values and home characteristics make up 52% of the 26.5 million records
Records per dataset, for the years CivicDelta keeps. Bars share one scale starting at zero.

What you can hold us to, in every domain
Coverage before payment
We confirm your address or entity is covered before you can pay.
Every figure cited
Publisher, dataset, record ID and capture date sit beside every number.
Absence is not clearance
“No records found” never means “no problem.” Every report says so.
Records, not accusations
No scores or grades about named people or businesses. Dated records only.
One price, stated up front
A single number per report. A clean result is declared a valid outcome before you buy.
The free source, linked
Each report links the official lookup it builds on, so you can check it yourself.
Free checks, the method, and every source behind them
Nothing here is behind a payment. Use the checks, read how a figure is produced, and look up the dataset it came from.
