Indicates if the path and ll_uuid values have changed during the last refresh from the county. A value of 'preserved' means the 'll_uuid' was matched during county refresh to the previous data. A 'null' indicates a new ll_uuid was generated because the new data was not matched to the existing data during the county data refresh process.

Examples: preserved (if unchanged),

ll_uuid Regrid UUID

Uniquely identifies a single parcel with a v4 uuid. A stable parcel id across county data refreshes. This field should be used for tracking individual parcels.

ll_stack_uuid Parcel Stack UUID

Uniquely identifies a group of parcels with exact duplicate geometries using one stack member parcel's ll_uuid assigned to all the parcels in the stack.

The parcel ll_uuid chosen for the ll_stack_uuid is arbitrary and does not indicate a primary parcel.
