DC: Property Taxes

Today’s State Agency Database Highlight comes to us from the quasi-state of the District of Columbia:

Real Property Tax Database Search – From the website, “The Office of Tax and Revenue’s (OTR) real property tax database provides online access to real property information that was formerly available only through manual searches and at various DC public libraries. You can obtain property value, assessment roll, and other information for more than 180,000 parcels using the links below.” Interesting search by neighborhood gives you a quick sense of property values.

Here is a sample record from the database:

SDOTD 8/19/2007 – DC: Campaign Contributions Search

Today’s State Database of the Day comes to us from the District of Columbia:

Campaign Contributions Search – Find campaign contributions by amount, contributor, date, location, or recipient. The Office of Campaign Finance provides easy access to all contributions and expenditures reported from January 1, 1999 through the current reporting period. Because the system is updated on a daily basis, you may be able to retrieve data received by OCF after the latest reporting period. However, this data may not be complete.
