It's a US or at least California thing. In many countries this is not reality.

It is the same in Washington state, and I suspect most other states also make this information available. I believe it is required because the taxing authority data is considered public information.

PA, checking in. My county has a website where you search the address, and get back the owners, acreage, square footage, assessed value (land and building(s)), and last sale price and date.
