- The most recent date of recorded property transactions for the county. This includes updated property records with new ownership, sales dates, and transaction details.
- When property transactions updates from County Recorder offices were first captured into the Transaction History of properties in the County.

Updated Results List Options
You've asked for it and we're delivering. Prior to the implementation, the Results List had to be removed in order to see the properties that were covered by numbers. With this new implementation it can be done (while retaining the highlight) without removing the results list.
