DON'T LIE.  

I spoke to people from the county tax assessor's office, the trustee's office, and the registrar of deeds.

And that is where my difficulty lies.

I hate to say that but I don't have the funds to purchase it myselfUh....isn't this called lying?  

. ;) But in all seriousness, have you tried plugging that address into the county assessors office?

I looked up the owners on the tax assessor website, and googled them.  

I would never pay for Yancey's education services (my wife and in-laws were going to attend), plus the speaker lied to me. 

I currently own a rental in El Paso, Texas and I am not going to lie, it has been a tad stressful.

I spoke with someone who was previously in that role and he denied that, but did acknowledge that a well though out appeals process can show results.I think its prudent to always question the valuations of your property but you should do a comparison against similar assets before calling the assessor.  

A better way is to look at the county assessor data.
