[Info] I just learned that nearly all of the counties in the US offer a GIS map for property information look up. I've been using it to add correct addresses to unlabeled new/existing buildings. (lemmy.world)

A few key phrases to help you find your county of choice are: Assessor's lot map, Assessor's Parcel map, County Property Viewer.

Just add the name of the county you need info from, plus one of the key phrases, and bam. You're in business.

Hope that helped someone else.

@grue There is a US category on the community forums: https://community.openstreetmap.org/c/communities/us/78
(uses OSM login).

The requirements for doing an import are here:
https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Import/Guidelines

And there's nothing wrong with doing a bit of piecewise improvement with @streetcomplete in the meantime.
