Property information harvesting from tax records??
Is there any software or efficient way to get property data from county tax records? I have found that the square footage for the property type I’m looking for is almost exact for tax records and wondering if there is a better way to get property information from the site other than manually searching and import the data. Costar, Reis, and other major sites aren’t in this market heavy.
