Where the sales come from in Nebraska
When a deed is recorded, a real estate transfer statement showing the total price is filed with the register of deeds, and the documentary stamp tax is figured on the price. The buyer (or an agent) signs and files the statement, and without it 'the register of deeds shall not record the deed'. The register of deeds sends it to the county assessor, who forwards it to the Tax Commissioner (Neb. Rev. Stat. 76-214). By law anyone may see these statements at the county assessor, the register of deeds or the Tax Commissioner's office.
Documentary stamp tax (paid by the seller/grantor): "three dollars and thirty-two cents for each one thousand dollars value or fraction thereof for transfers before January 1, 2032, and at the rate of two dollars and thirty-two cents for each one thousand dollars value or fraction thereof for transfers on or after January 1, 2032"
Nebraska has 93 counties. Property Scan covers any of them, pulled on demand.
Every comp in a Property Scan report is a closed sale with a recorded price, adjusted for market time with the FHFA House Price Index for Nebraska, which rose 2.0% in the four quarters to the second quarter of 2026 (how comps are chosen and adjusted).

Pricing opinions under Nebraska rules
Nebraska's license law defines both a broker's price opinion and a comparative market analysis as work a licensee does in the ordinary course of business. Allowed purposes include a listing, purchase or sale, some non-federally-related loans, and property tax appeals.
“an analysis, opinion, or conclusion prepared by a person licensed under the act in the ordinary course of his or her business relating to the price of specified interests in or aspects of identified real estate or identified real property by comparison to other real property currently or recently in the marketplace for the purpose of (a) listing, purchase, or sale, (b) originating, extending, renewing, or modifying a loan in a transaction other than a federally related transaction, or (c) real property tax appeals”
Every Property Scan report says it's a comparative market analysis, not an appraisal. Not legal advice.
