County-verified tax delinquent filings, scraped daily and delivered exclusive by zip code — not a 90-day-old export.
Tax delinquent leads for realtors are homeowner contacts pulled directly from county tax delinquency filings rather than predicted from an algorithm. PropScored scrapes these records daily across 15+ Georgia and Florida counties and verifies each one against the public filing, with 81% of tax delinquent prospects carrying a working phone or email.
A tax delinquent lead confirms motivation with a real filing — the owner owes back taxes on record, full stop. It's a confirmed financial-distress filing on the county's delinquent roll — a documented event, not a predictive score. Across PropScored's 11 tracked distress signal types, tax delinquency sits alongside liens, pre-foreclosure, and bankruptcy as county-record verified, meaning an agent isn't guessing at intent before making the call.
Across 1,142 timestamped filings, the median gap between a public-record filing and a sourced lead is 2 days. Bankruptcy filings move fastest at 1 day, pre-foreclosure at 3 days. Tax delinquent and lien lists are the one exception to daily processing — counties release them as periodic bulk loads rather than a continuous feed, so freshness tracks closer to the 7-day lien benchmark than the 1-day bankruptcy benchmark. Batch platforms like PropStream, by contrast, refresh those same county lists on roughly 30-90 day cycles, which means an agent working a batch export could be calling a homeowner whose taxes were already paid off weeks ago. See how freshness is measured for the full methodology.

Across 5,265 sourced prospects, 84% carry a verified phone or email (69% phone, 64% email). Tax delinquent leads land at 81% contactability — lower than liens (97%) or FSBO (96%), but still high enough to make dialing worthwhile rather than mailing into a void.
