What the data contains

Pennsylvania planned communities (Uniform Planned Community Act, 68 Pa.C.S. 5101 et seq.) and condominiums (Uniform Condominium Act, 68 Pa.C.S. 3101 et seq.) are governed by associations that usually incorporate as domestic nonprofit corporations with the Pennsylvania Department of State. The Department publishes registered businesses on data.pa.gov with one row per business per associated party. Each run asks the dataset's SODA API for the 100 most recently created domestic nonprofit corporations whose names containing HOMEOWNER, CONDOMINIUM, PROPERTY OWNER, TOWNHOM or OWNERS ASSOC, grouped server-side to one record per filing, newest first: Department of State filing number, business name and creation date. Party rows (officers, incorporators and their addresses) are never requested, only the grouped entity columns. A monitor reports newly registered associations. The dataset is refreshed monthly; the name filter is a heuristic and can include a few non-association corporations with matching words.

Fields and types

Every record has these fields. The key field filing_number identifies a record across runs, so changes are reported field by field.

Sample output

The first 5 of 100 records from SourceFinch's own run on October 3, 2026, exactly as delivered.

Evidence behind every value

• Each run keeps the publisher's exact response, hashed with SHA-256. This sample came from a response with hash d219dd50774f4ab4400aa3c2e385296bda26bd478f561b3ed2d482995a14db5b.
• Every value records where it came from in that response: a JSON Pointer into the retained capture.
• Each run gets a signed manifest (Ed25519) timestamped by an RFC 3161 authority: this run's manifest hash is 614f8058bb30c5491cf3c148b6e9924d65615d27df2a080d0603c76b3aec567f, timestamped October 3, 2026.
• The compliance state at capture is recorded with the evidence: robots.txt hash and verdict, AI-preference signals, crawler identity and the usage rights below.
• Download any run as an evidence bundle (WACZ) and check it offline, without trusting SourceFinch: sourcefinch verify-bundle run.wacz.

Terms posture and usage rights

PA Data Policy: data sets on data.pa.gov are offered free and without restriction, as a public service on an as-is basis with no warranty; the dataset is marked Public Domain U.S. Government. Anonymous SODA API access needs no key; robots.txt asks for a 1 second crawl delay.

Usage rights travel with every record SourceFinch delivers (API, exports, webhooks and evidence bundles). They are our documented understanding of the publisher's stated terms, not legal advice.

Pricing

Each check is one run, whatever the number of records, and failed runs are free. On its default daily schedule this source uses about 30 runs a month, which fits the Free plan's 300 runs. It uses HTTP acquisition, so no browser runs are needed. See plans.
