Public Records: CRS Data - Using Advanced Search

Using Advanced Search

The advanced search gives you the power to search by multiple criteria for creating a very focused list of properties. For example, you might pull up all residential properties in a specific zip code, that have sold in the last year, and are valued between $200,000 and $300,000.

To access the Advanced Search, select the blue button that reads “Advanced Search and Map Search” located below the simple search box.


Saved Search Criteria or a List of Results

On the Advanced Search page, if you previously saved search criteria or a list of results, you
can select either the criteria to populate on the search page or the results list to open from
one of the drop-down lists.



Search by Map

Use the map to select an area to search.
You can enter one or more counties to start a new search. When searching by county, select
the box on the left to see a list of available counties. You can also begin typing a county
name to refine the list.
After selecting the county or counties, use any or all of the sections below to set your
search criteria. Each section has a Submit button to save you from scrolling unnecessarily.
You can select any Submit button once you have entered your search criteria regardless of
the section it is entered.


Search by Location

Use a variety of location criteria to filter your results including entering multiple
subdivision and/or street names. Your searching capabilities depends on the public tax
records availability from the county or counties selected above. This information can be
different from each county. (Some filters allow multiple criteria to be entered)

Search by Property Value

Searching by property value provides an opportunity to research properties that sold
and/or transferred through non-BLC and BLC system. Enter prices, values, or even dates of
previous sales. You can search for sales prices over $200,000 between 4.02.2020 thru
4.2.2022 by entering 200,000 in the left box under Last Sale Price and leaving the right box
empty then selecting calendar's next to Date of Last Sale to enter a range. The same
principle applies to Date of Last Sale to find any property last sold after a specific date.

Search by Property Characteristics

Search by property characteristics allows you to select specific properties (commercial or
residential) or narrow down your results list. The county assessor determines the property
types, improvement, and/or land use. Also look for square footage, acreage, and year built.
Searching for the number of stories, bathrooms, and bedrooms is handy. Just like the values
above, entering a number in the box on the left and leaving the box on the right empty will
show you all properties over that initial value. In the screenshot below, we’ll see all
residential properties, single family (improvement type) that have two or more bathrooms
and three or more bedrooms.

Owner Profile

Provides multiple ways to generate a list of properties from owner occupied to absentee
owners that reside in a different state than where a specific property is located, and/or
previous owner.
