Every risk layer, named and sourced

    Competitive audits regularly under-count what LienScout Pro actually ships. This page is the honest inventory — 12 risk and intelligence layers, live in the app today, tied to the county or federal source that produces them.

    Hidden risk

    3

    Permits, code enforcement & 311 signals

    City-level enrichers pull open permits, unpaid permit fees, code enforcement cases, and 311 complaint history from Accela, Tyler EnerGov, ArcGIS Hub, and Socrata portals. Findings are attached to the parcel and factored into hidden-risk penalties.

    Coverage: Live in Tarrant, Harris, Dallas, Bexar, Travis, Collin (TX); Miami-Dade, Broward, Palm Beach (FL); Maricopa, Pima (AZ); LA, San Diego, San Bernardino, Riverside (CA); Fulton, DeKalb, Cobb, Gwinnett, Chatham (GA).
    Market gap: FastLien, LienSuite, Tax Sale Resources, Parcel Fair, and Tax Deed Collective do not surface municipal permit or code-enforcement liens by parcel.

    Landlocked & no-legal-access detection

    Parcels are checked against road network, right-of-way, and easement data to flag landlocked or no-legal-access lots. This is the single largest silent losing category in tax-deed portfolios and it is not surfaced by any competitor in the July 2026 audit.

    Coverage: All active counties.
    Market gap: None of the 8 competitors in the July 2026 audit flag landlocked or no-legal-access parcels — LienScout Pro's sharpest differentiator.

    Code violations & municipal liens

    City code-enforcement portals (Miami, Fort Lauderdale, Houston, Dallas, LA, Phoenix, and more) are polled for open cases tied to the parcel. Lien-eligible cases feed the hidden-risk penalty on the deal score.

    Coverage: Live across FL Tier-1/Tier-2 cities, TX metros, CA Tier-1 cities, AZ Phoenix metro, GA Atlanta metro.

    Environmental

    3

    Wetlands & environmental screening

    Parcels are screened against USFWS NWI polygons and state environmental layers (Florida DEP, Georgia DNR). We report wetland type, percent overlap, and shadow-score the deal so wetland-encumbered parcels don't blindside your bid. Environmental panel shows the source layers used.

    Coverage: All Florida and Georgia counties; expanding to Texas and Arizona.
    Market gap: No competitor in the July 2026 audit names wetlands specifically. Tax Sale Resources ships Low/Med/High environmental risk; we surface the underlying overlap.

    FEMA flood zone data

    We hit FEMA's National Flood Hazard Layer for every parcel and cache the flood zone, base flood elevation where available, and repeat-loss designation. Feeds the natural-hazard composite score.

    Coverage: All active counties.
    Market gap: Only The Landeur among audited competitors surfaces flood-zone data explicitly.

    Natural hazards composite scoring

    The FEMA NRI feed contributes a composite hazard score by census tract. Individual perils (wildfire, hurricane, riverine flood, tornado, coastal flood, earthquake, etc.) surface on the property page and penalize the deal score when material.

    Coverage: All active counties.

    Ownership & recording

    1

    Recorder coverage — HOA, UCC, judgments

    Recorder-of-deeds coverage picks up HOA liens, UCC-1 filings, and money-judgment liens by parcel and party. Auto-promotion trigger surfaces new filings on your watched parcels.

    Coverage: HOA live in Dallas; recorder pipelines built for Harris, Travis, Fulton, DeKalb, Miami-Dade, Broward, Palm Beach.
    Market gap: Most tax-sale platforms rely on title-search add-ons; we surface these directly on the auction row.

    Auction intelligence

    2

    Redemption tracking with statutory expiry

    Every state's redemption statute (interest rates, penalty tiers, cure windows, deed-application windows) is modeled. Won liens surface countdowns for the exact date you can apply for a deed and alert you when the certificate is about to expire.

    Coverage: TX, FL, AZ, GA, CA.

    30 / 7 / 1-day auction countdown alerts

    The auction-countdown engine watches every property on your watchlist and portfolio. Reminders fire at 30 days, 7 days, and 1 day before the sale, honoring your notification preferences. Deduped per bucket — you'll never get the same countdown twice.

    Coverage: All active counties.
    Market gap: LienSuite ships this cadence; most other competitors don't publish a specific reminder schedule.

    Data foundation

    3

    Statewide bulk CAMA ingestion

    We ingest the Florida Department of Revenue NAL roll statewide (67 counties), Collin CCAD (TX), Maricopa (AZ), and Pima (AZ) assessor bulk downloads. These feed owner name, assessed and market value, year built, building sqft, lot size, and legal description as a gap-fill layer under our parcel-level enrichment.

    Coverage: FL (statewide), TX Collin, AZ Maricopa and Pima. Expanding.

    25-county multi-state coverage

    TX: Bexar, Collin, Dallas, Harris, Tarrant, Travis. FL: Broward, Duval, Hillsborough, Miami-Dade, Orange, Palm Beach. AZ: Maricopa, Pima, Pinal. CA: Los Angeles, Orange, Riverside, San Bernardino, San Diego. GA: Chatham, Cobb, DeKalb, Fulton, Gwinnett. Represents roughly 70% of U.S. tax-lien sales volume.

    Coverage: 25 counties, 5 states.

    Direct-from-county sourcing

    We publish the source of every field on every parcel. Zillow, Realtor, and Redfin are used for market context only, never as the record of truth. Auction pages carry a last-checked timestamp so you know how fresh the list is.

    Coverage: All active counties.
