Why would you ban access to public information? Thinkie before speakie.

I am not talking about banning public access, I just want it to be safer. For legit uses, yo would not be looking up 30 properties in one shot. Identity Theft people would do more than that. That is all I am trying to prevent.

If you only knew what was of public record, not only can I find out how much you paid for that house but how you financed it, how much and thru whom.

If I got to my local Registry of Deeds, I can pull every and any local real estate transaction I want with no limit.

how do you find how much someone paid for a house?

The sale is considered a public record and you can look up the tax card online or in person if the records are not online.

and that is fine by me. It is the ease of access electronically that worries me. Chances are those websites are not sql injection proof.

Not sure why you picked SQL injection as one of the many possibilities, but I don't see what difference that would make considering the information is already available anyway.

Our county pulled the names off the online system due to problems with scammers and identity theft.

as long as this information contains no SS#... there is nothing here to assist identity theft.

i can get far more information about you by running a credit or background check on you.

this site used to be so much better... it showed your house or any house recently sold back to like 1989 (I think zillow does that too) - now it basically requires the payment method. I just filled out my [fake] info and a "real estate agent will get back to me". Yeah ok.
