    If you have the parcel number, you should be able to go to https://treasurer.cuyahogacoun... and access at least the current bill. It's common for other jurisdictions to provide full histories with just an address and most jurisdictions have an online portal nowadays.

    If i go to the treasurer from Zillow i can copy the parcel number from there and should it be enough?

    It appears that you only need the parcel number. After entering the parcel number they may ask for more information, but in my experience with online prop tax portals, is that they only require very basic info related to the property and/or owner.

    It's funny how often sellers agents "forget" this in their NOI projections and pro formas- probably just an honest mistake.

     Great point! Veterans, seniors, first-time home buyers, etc. may receive special discounts which is sometimes reflected in the initial prop tax billing!
