While I was attempting to go to a specific county's property database I managed to click on a Sponsored Ad at the beginning of my Google search resonse. I should have recognized the pattern of questions earlier than I did, however I continued entering information about my request anyway. The result was a abrief -perhaps 3 minutes- delay while the request gathered data for a response and then indicated the search results would cost $1. More out of curiosity than anyother reason I paid the dollar and shortly received my information after indicating I preferred a PDF doc to my email address. The script continued however and then I received a text msg to my phone indicating I could download the data directly to my phone. Subsequent text messages and emails asked first if I still wanted the data, then how it should be delivered and then if I was happy with the results. My response was and remains that the information is available for free on most county websites, though navigating the intuitive county sites is seldom straight foreward and would obviously take longer. Unfrtunately some of the data provided by the propertyrecord.com proved invalid and some may have been scooped from the folks who endlessly seem to be sending (unrequessted but free) information about ones property including changes in its value. If you are not inclined to do your own homework the site may be valuable, but should still encourage you to verify the data.
