Dates and versions
- Each dataset shows when it was last updated, and the ones built on state rules show when each state
was last checked. - Each dataset keeps a changelog of corrections and changes, so a number you cited can
always be traced. - Mention the date you used in your credit or your notes, especially in research, since
tax rules change. - Every version is archived. Each dataset is also on GitHub and on Zenodo, where every release keeps its own DOI and the main DOI always points to the latest: transfer tax, closing costs and property taxes.
- The addresses don’t change. The page, the CSV and the JSON stay at the same addresses as the
data is updated.
Corrections and questions
If something looks wrong or out of date, email us with a source, and we’ll check it against the statute and note the fix in the changelog. Writing a story and need a state or a cut we don’t publish? Our press page has
