Question about information on tax assessor's websites...

[Brian H.]

Hey everyone,

Whenever I am looking into a property, owners, ownership history, past sales, etc. on tax assessors websites I always see the statistic "Percent Good" or "% Good" for the buildings.  What is this? I know it is based off of some sort of table used to value properties... but is it a number I could use in my negotiations? Would it help me more clearly understand the worth of a property?  

Just always looking for more tools to slip into my negotiation tool belt!

Also, any info anyone can provide on ways to utilize the assessor's sites to better negotiate deals would be greatly appreciated!

Thank you!
