Overview
BPD delivers bulk parcel data directly to an S3 bucket you own. You grant BPD’s delivery identity write access through a bucket policy, and 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

- Click Create bucket
- Enter a bucket name (e.g.
your-org-bpd-data) - Select your preferred AWS region
- Leave Block all public access enabled
- Leave default encryption settings
- 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
