Data transparency

Every result should lead back to an official source.

MoveIn stores source and verification dates—and shows uncertainty when a ZIP code is not enough.

What is in the pilot

The database contains selected reviewed ZIP records in Seminole, Orange, Volusia, Lake, Osceola counties. It is not statewide coverage, and an indexable ZIP page must pass a data-quality gate.

Preferred source hierarchy

  1. Official provider
  2. Official city
  3. Official county
  4. Official state agency
  5. Official federal data
  6. Other authoritative documentation

What each provider record stores

Records support a provider type, coverage label, service notes, customer and emergency contacts, official actions, source title and URL, retrieval date, and verification date. Automated reports flag stale evidence, invalid formats, duplicates, and link failures.

Why exact-address confirmation matters

ZIP codes can overlap municipal and utility areas. Water, sewer, and trash responsibility can change with jurisdiction, annexation, a well or septic system, an HOA, landlord, or private hauler. Internet coverage can differ between neighboring buildings.

Incomplete data stays visible as incomplete

MoveIn uses possible, multiple-provider, address-required, partial, or verification-in-progress labels. It does not fill gaps with guesses. Read the editorial policy or report incorrect information.
