Tax Data Added to Northstar MLS from 8 Additional Counties
Posted on the Northstar MLS on Tuesday, January 20, 2009
We are pleased to report that we now have tax data on NorthstarMLS directly from 8 additional counties: Blue Earth (Mankato), Kanabec (Mora), McLeod (Hutchinson/Winsted), Meeker (Litchfield), Mille Lacs (Milaca), Nicollet (North Mankato/St. Peter), St. Louis (Duluth/Hibbing) and Wabasha.
The value of Tax Data within NorthstarMLS:
- This brings our total to 28 counties (25 Minnesota and 3 Wisconsin) where we obtain the most complete tax data available directly from the counties. Open the tax record by clicking the PID Number directly from the Property Full Display for any listing in these counties. Also searchable through the Tax tab.
- Winona and Le Sueur Counties to be added soon.
- We continually work with the counties where we already have data to add additional fields and improve the quality of the data. Data from sales records (CREVs) are added daily.
- Northstar MLS also has basic tax record data for all Minnesota counties, obtained from the MN State Dept of Revenue. This information is searchable through the Tax tab.
- GIS and Plat maps from REsearch Minnesota are available for the core metro counties through a simple click on the links within the tax displays.
- Tax/Valuation History and Sales History also available through links on the tax displays.
- Use Matrix MLS to run reports, mailing labels and export data all from the tax records.
The 2009 updates to the tax data will start as soon as they are made available to us from the counties, usually starting in March/April.
