The property tax records at the county tax assessor's office only go back to 2008.   Is there a standard protocol for this situation or am I simply left with crossing my fingers and taking a wild guess?


The safest approach would be to engage a licensed (certified) property appraiser in your county to do a retroactive (historical) appraisal of the property, obviously for 1993. 

 

Alternatively, you could use the land/improvements split on your most recent property tax bill and apply that retroactively (to the 1993 purchase price of $278,000).
