Bugs and sdr, it comes back to this: why does the County Assessor publish this information online, making it so easy for all to see? Anything recorded with the County Assessor is free for all to see: tax payments, tax liens, purchase price of house, % downpayment, type of mortgage. If this is bothersome, write a letter to the County Assessor, outlining your privacy concerns, instead of telling us not to look at it.
