SmartMLS Tax Property Report

After you have performed a search for property records in SmartMLS Tax, any matches will display in the List View , which is essentially a single line report that shows you a handful of parcel record fields.  If you would like to take a more in-depth look at any (or all) of the matches, just click on any individual property and the Property Report will open.  The Property Report is the most comprehensive report in SmartMLS Tax and provides access to all of the public records information the SmartMLS has on file.

The Property Report is rather long, so we will break it down into smaller, more easily digestible groups and highlight the relevant features within each group.

As you move down the report, you will see it broken down into close to 20 different sections.  Each section can be collapsed by clicking the icon to the top right.

Some sections (Sales History, for example) have an additional icon that allows you to just view the most recent item in that section.

Here is a glimpse of the top section of the report: 

1. Click Back to Search Results to switch from the Property Report back to the List View (so you can see all of your original search results).
2. Email, Print or save the current Property Report as a PDF.  The Email and Print functions can be performed in English or Spanish.
3. If your original search resulted in more than one match, use the Previous Report and Next Report arrows to navigate between your matches (they will display in the Property Report).
4. If the property has been listed on the MLS in the past, the photos from the most recent listing for the property will appear on the left side of the top of the report. If the property is relisted on the MLS, the Property Report photos will update to match the photos that appear on the MLS. Photos are included on property reports to assist with searching for comparable properties. Use the arrows beneath the large photo to navigate through all of the photos.
5. The property's location will display on a map to the right of the photos.  Beneath the map, you've got the option to upload your own property photo.  You can also view the property on a larger map. which provides you access to many different map layers and tools.
