Court records and filings
Civil and criminal dockets, ownership distress signals, lien and judgment monitoring across county clerk platforms.
Government data vertical
Government data, extracted and structured for the teams that need it.
US federal, state, county, and municipal sources. Court filings, business registries, municipal meetings, property records, permits. Not a generic API: pipelines built per stack, delivered into the format your team already uses. CivicMine is the US government data vertical of Scrapingdome.

Verticals covered
Five government data verticals, in production.
Each vertical is a pattern, not a one-off. We have built systems in each of these areas for real clients; the same architecture extends to new geographies as platforms match.
Business entities and registries
Secretary of State registrations enriched with AI classification by vertical and contact data for sales intelligence pipelines.
Municipal meetings and minutes
Agendas, minutes, and video transcripts from city councils and boards. Searchable by topic, vendor, or motion.
Property records and permits
County assessor data, recorded deeds, permit issuance, and code enforcement actions reconciled across heterogeneous sources.
Procurement and contracts
Bids, awards, and contract documents. Useful for vendor competitive intelligence and government sales targeting.
Platforms covered
The platforms behind US local government data.
Twenty-three software platforms account for the majority of court, municipal, and registry data in the United States; CivicMine has live adapters for all of them. We work at the platform layer so a new jurisdiction on a known platform is a configuration change, not a new project.

On roadmap
Status reflects production deployments today. Covered means at least one live client pipeline on the platform. Mapped means the platform model and authentication shape are documented; adapter scaffold exists, not in production. On roadmap means we have identified the platform and its user base but have not yet built against it.
CivicMine adapters cover Granicus (the workhorse, with 50+ deployments across cities and counties), PrimeGov, Legistar, CivicPlus and its AgendaCenter module, CivicClerk, eScribe, AgendaLink, Laserfiche, SwagIT, Hyland OnBase, IQM2, CivicWeb, BoardDocs, Diligent, Revize, Municode, Destiny, and VEconnect for municipal meetings, agendas, minutes, packets, ordinances, and records. Tyler Odyssey and a Clerk-of-Courts adapter family handle court records across NC, TX, and the 22+ US states on the Tyler court platform. Socrata covers open data portals at the city, county, and state level. County property appraiser systems are scraped per vendor with a shared normalization layer. Permits, licensing, and procurement are mapped on Tyler EnerGov, Accela, and OpenGov with roadmap targets, and GIS portals are mapped on ArcGIS Hub and CKAN.
North Carolina court records pipeline.
A US real estate investor specializing in distress acquisitions receives ownership distress signals from court filings and recorded documents across North Carolina and Texas counties. Tyler Enterprise Justice at the platform layer, forensic title reasoning over the dockets, scheduled delivery into the investor's research workflow.

County meeting minutes intelligence.
A US real estate developer receives structured entitlement signals (rezonings, conditional-use permits, TIF approvals, applicant-attorney pairings) from Planning Commission and Board of Commissioners minutes across counties in Utah, Colorado, Wyoming, and Montana. Five platform adapters cover the long tail of US local government.

How a CivicMine engagement works
From platform discovery to delivered pipeline.
Government data shifts on its own clock: new platforms, deprecated endpoints, reorganized portals. The engagement is shaped around that reality.
01
Discovery of the platform mix
You tell us the data type and the geography. We map which platforms back the sources at the level of granularity you need (state, county, municipality) and tell you which are covered, which need mapping, and which are not yet viable.
02
Build and validate
Platform-level adapters where the platform is named. Custom extraction where the source is one-of-a-kind. AI classification or enrichment when the raw data needs reasoning to be useful. We test against the real geography you target, not a simplified sample.
03
Delivery into your stack
Postgres, BigQuery, S3 dump, sheet, or scheduled report. We deliver into the format your team already uses, with the pipeline running and monitored, not as code thrown over a wall.
What government clients say
Notes from delivered municipal data work.
Delivered on time. Any corrections needed, they quickly resolved per our timeline. Would hire again.
Questions we answer
How CivicMine engagements work in practice.
How does court records scraping work in counties using Tyler Odyssey?
Tyler Odyssey is the dominant court records platform in many US states. We have built a platform-level adapter that handles its session model and filing search behavior, then layer per-county configuration on top. A new Odyssey county is a configuration change, not a new project, which is how we cover 100 NC counties under one architecture.
Which US states have open business registry APIs?
A growing minority. New York exposes business entities through a Socrata-backed open data portal; California, Texas, and Florida publish through their Secretary of State websites with varying levels of programmatic access. For states without an API we build a respectful extraction layer against the public registry, enrich the result with AI classification by vertical, and deliver structured records to your stack.
Can you extract municipal meeting minutes from Granicus?
Yes. Granicus hosts agendas, minutes, and meeting video for over 7,000 organizations. A single adapter at the Granicus platform layer gives access to the full set of those organizations; we have used it for procurement signal extraction and policy monitoring. Meeting minutes that exist only as video are transcribed and indexed alongside the text agenda.
How do you handle counties that use different platforms?
By keeping the work at the platform layer rather than the county layer. Court records in some NC counties run on Tyler Odyssey; others run on a Clerk-built site; a few publish through a Socrata dataset. Each platform has its own adapter; each county is mapped to its platform plus any local configuration. When a county migrates to a different platform we re-point the configuration rather than rewrite the system.
Is government data extraction legal?
The data we work with is public record by definition: court filings, business registrations, municipal meetings, property records, permits. Public record laws and open data initiatives are the substrate the work depends on. We operate against the public-facing sources, respect rate-limit and access norms, and never bypass authentication. When a source requires registration or terms of use, we either work within them or recommend against the source.
