Frequently Asked Questions
What is tax delinquent property data?
Tax delinquent property data includes information about properties where the owner has fallen behind on property tax payments. This data comes from county tax assessor records and typically includes the property address, owner name, tax amount owed, and years of delinquency.
How is the Opportunity Score calculated?
Opportunity levels are derived from the ratio of heir signals and deceased owner indicators to total properties. A higher ratio suggests more untapped opportunity with properties that may have motivated sellers or complex title situations that create deal potential.
How often is this data updated?
Market data is refreshed periodically from public county records. Individual county data freshness varies — some counties provide weekly updates while others update quarterly or annually.
Can I download the property lists?
When a free county sample is available, its row count scales with the county's eligible inventory, up to 500 rows. It is a representative cross-section, not only the best-scored properties, and includes deal grades (A through C) plus available source fields such as property addresses, legal descriptions, tax owed, delinquency years, property type, and owner details. Numeric scores and paid distress-signal columns are not included. Create a free account to download it; no credit card required.
Unclaimed Surplus Funds from Tax Sales
Millions in unclaimed surplus funds are sitting in county accounts with deadlines approaching. See how much is on the table, which counties have the most, and what's about to expire.
