Tax assessment data is collected from public records that are typically managed and maintained by the assessor’s office in any given county. It includes information about a property and its value, which is used to determine property taxes. The key components of tax assessment data are:
- Ownership details: Current owner information, owner-occupied indicators, and vesting codes
- Property characteristics: House address, lot size, building area, stories, year built, zoning, construction type, amenities
- Land use insights: Standardized land-use codes and descriptions, along with assessor-specific classifications
- Building and improvement details: Building materials, number of units, garage capacity, fireplaces, heating and cooling systems, pools, patios
- Tax and assessment data: Tax rates, total taxes levied, delinquent tax years, and historical assessments
- Valuation metrics and market trends: Changes in property value over time
