How the Travis Central Appraisal District Purchased Home Sales Information

Privatization of land records and public data is a shitty thing, if a potential buyer is scared away by a public record of their transaction being published, they shouldn't be buying the property in question.

I'm proud that my state mandates free, open access to property ownership records and county/city maps & GIS data. Property appraisal in Washington State sounds much easier to do than in Texas where this data is locked away from the general public, as another thing counties and cities do here is rate structural build quality, integrity, and also have a bank of photos of the property over the years (generally whenever a permit is pulled or the age of the last photo set is over a few years old) as part of the public record.
