How to find the Most Recent Appraisal

[Geoff Bishop]

Hi.

Is there a way to obtain (buy) access to the most recent Appraisal which was done on a property?

Do any states require appraisals to be recorded when performed?

And are actual appraisals done for tax assessment purposes, and are the details of those available?

Depending on how accurate you need the appraisal to be, it seems silly and wasteful to request an appraisal if one was performed recently.  Thanks!
