Methodology
Every row is a verbatim sentence read from the named source's own page through our fetch service on the date shown, hash-pinned to the stored read (the sha of the page's visible text; the raw page is mirrored to R2).
2 of the 16 named sources that could be read published a usable figure; 14 published none and are recorded as not published, never filled in; 1 could not be read (blocked, dead or unreachable) and count nowhere.
The headline figures (median, minimum, maximum, quartiles) are over ONE figure per source in % (a source's median where its page yielded several accepted sentences), so N counts sources, never sentences; 39 candidate sentence(s) were refused by a reviewer with the reason recorded.
The fuller derivation this dataset is chartered to grow into (not yet what the figures above are; they are each source's own published figure as read): one row per state: does a nonresident real-property withholding regime exist, the rate as the statute states it (a flat percent of consideration, a percent of estimated gain, or the highest marginal income rate applied to the gain), the alternative rate where the statute offers one, the consideration threshold below which nothing is withheld, the form, who is legally the withholder (buyer, closing agent, or recording officer), and the exemption route.
Across the states that is the table nobody has: the spread from 2% to 8%+, the count of states with no regime at all, the median withholding on a $600,000 sale, and which states withhold on the PRICE (so a seller at a loss still pays and must reclaim) versus the GAIN.
39 candidate sentences on these pages were refused by a reviewer; each refusal and its reason is recorded in the review ledger.
