County-verified tax delinquent filings, scraped daily and delivered as the full metro-Atlanta dataset, not a 90-day-old export.
Tax delinquent leads come straight from county tax delinquency filings, no algorithm guessing who's behind. PropScored scrapes these records daily across metro Atlanta counties in Georgia and checks each one against the public filing. 81% of tax delinquent prospects come back with a working phone or email attached.
A tax delinquent lead confirms motivation with a real filing, the owner owes back taxes on record, full stop. That's a documented event sitting on the county's delinquent roll, not a predictive score dreamed up by a model. Across PropScored's 11 tracked distress signal types, tax delinquency sits alongside liens, pre-foreclosure, and bankruptcy as county-record verified. You're not guessing at intent before you pick up the phone.
Across 1,142 timestamped filings, the median gap between a public-record filing and a sourced lead runs 2 days. Bankruptcy moves fastest at 1 day. Pre-foreclosure lands at 3 days. Tax delinquent and lien lists are the exception, counties dump these as periodic bulk loads, not a continuous feed, so freshness tracks closer to the 7-day lien benchmark than the 1-day bankruptcy number. Batch platforms like PropStream refresh those same county lists on roughly 30-90 day cycles. That means an agent working a batch export could be dialing a homeowner whose taxes were 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% a phone, 64% an email, many with both). Tax delinquent leads carry 81% verified contactability, high enough to pick up the phone instead of mailing into a void.
