[quote=bake]Texas is a “non disclosure” state bearishgurl, meaning they do not have to disclose selling price at close, so comps are hard to come by. Some people (real estate agents) support the policy citing “Texan’s fierce independent nature” but most of the people think it has something to do with protecting a monopoly?!
Property tax assessments are public record though, and are updated yearly. Try this link:
Thanks for the info and link, bake! However, it appears you need the name of a property owner to use it. It makes sense now that not all sold comps there would be easily available online.
My next question to you would be, is a property in TX re-appraised upon sale for tax calculation purposes or is the assessment there disconnected from the price it fetched at the time of resale?
