The Mello-Roos data straight from the clerks who issue it.
California Tax Data sells data at $25–35 per report. We undercut by ~95% — and our data is fresher because it comes directly from the municipality, the moment the clerk uploads. One API call per parcel. Authoritative.
Same data quality, sourced one step closer to the originating municipality.
