Overview

BPD delivers bulk parcel data directly to an S3 bucket you own. You grant BPD’s delivery identity write access to your bucket via a bucket policy — BPD handles the rest. Files are overwritten on each delivery so your bucket always reflects the latest export.

​
Prerequisites

  • An AWS account with permission to create S3 buckets and edit bucket policies
  • A BPD data license that includes nationwide flat file delivery — contact support@buyparceldata.com if you are unsure whether your plan qualifies

​
Step 1 — Create a dedicated S3 bucket

  1. Sign in to the AWS Console and go to S3
  2. Click Create bucket
  3. Enter a bucket name (e.g. your-org-bpd-data)
  4. Select your preferred AWS region
  5. Leave Block all public access enabled
  6. Leave default encryption settings
  7. Click Create bucket
Use a dedicated bucket. BPD’s delivery process may overwrite or delete files to keep your bucket in sync with the latest export. Do not store other data in this bucket.

​
Step 2 — Apply the bucket policy

  1. Open your bucket and go to the Permissions tab
  2. Under Bucket policy, click Edit
  3. Paste the policy below, replacing YOUR-BUCKET-NAME in both resource lines
  4. Click Save changes

        "arn:aws:s3:::YOUR-BUCKET-NAME",
        "arn:aws:s3:::YOUR-BUCKET-NAME/*"
      ]
    }
  ]
}

​
Step 3 — Send us your details

Email support@buyparceldata.com with:
  • Bucket name
  • Bucket region (e.g. us-east-1)
  • Path prefix (optional) — if you want files nested under a subfolder (e.g. parcels/)
  • Include building footprints? Yes / No
We will confirm receipt and notify you when the delivery is complete.
