This is a cool project and it's fun to read about how he built it. I would like to see him open source it, so that people could make these for other states. It's also nice, in my opinion, that he gets a little payout from ads and I'm glad it's for something other than some kind of content-in-WordPress-site. Users might see a useful ad if targeting was configured right!

The difficulty in "open sourcing" it is that each state manages its CAMA/assessment/cadastral data differently.

I did open source some of the tools I used to work with New Jersey's data: https://github.com/johnjreiser/NJParcelTools

Nice! I didn't even bother to search, but I should have.
