Don’t Pay for Assessment Information You Can Get for Free
Several times each day appraisers, assessors, attorneys, bankers, real estate brokers and sales agents, and settlement agents search the Internet to find real estate assessment information. Since August of 2008 finding assessment information in Northern Virginia on the Internet became much easier when Manassas Park City Assessor Richard Sanderson, with assistance from local assessors throughout Northern Virginia posted “Contact Information for Local Real Estate Assessors Located in the Greater Northern Virginia Area” on several websites. This popular list has just been updated to include the entire Washington D.C. Metropolitan Area and is available by simply clicking here.
While an Internet search will reveal many services willing to provide real estate assessment information for a subscription fee, most people can get more up-to-date information from their local assessor for free.

Appraisers, assessors, attorneys, bankers, real estate brokers and sales agents, and settlement agents can now go to one source for contacting any assessment office in the D.C. metro area.
