28Grade A rows
$2.06MPublished*
*$2,060,025.74 — the exact sum of county-published amounts on grades A and C. The 12 grade D rows carry $1,771,698.00 of estimated spread, which is an arithmetic difference between two published figures, not a balance, and is excluded. Not a statement that any amount remains claimable.
What you're buying
A research starting point
Grade A — published amount; deadline either stated by the county (19) or one year from a county-published deed date (9)28
Grade B — source located and deadline anchored to a printed county date; county publishes no amount39
Grade C — published amount; deadline calculated one year from the sale date42
Grade D — estimated amount (sale price minus minimum bid); deadline derived from a recorder-confirmed deed date12
Built for independent verification
The county remains the authority. Evidence grades show what the source supports — and which rows still need checking.
Built for practical research
Three steps from list to verification.
The product organizes public-source research. It does not replace your diligence and it does not promise a recoverable claim.
02
Open the source
Every row carries a source URL, a page or row locator, and a verification label saying how far the check got — so a check takes about a minute, not a scavenger hunt.
03
Confirm before action
Recheck current funds, deed recordation, eligibility and the applicable deadline with the county or qualified counsel. The grade tells you what still needs checking.
What this actually does for a business
It replaces a recurring rebuild with a file you can filter.
Not “unclaimed money.” Not a claim service. The honest description is duller and more useful: this is the collection-and-normalization step of excess-proceeds research, done once per cycle, with the evidence left attached.
01
Your analyst stops being a PDF scraper
9 counties publish in 9 different shapes — scanned PDFs, legal notices with interleaved columns, Word documents, HTML tables. Rebuilding them into one table by hand is roughly one to two analyst days per cycle, and it is the same work every cycle. Here it arrives as 21 columns you can sort.
02
Every row survives a client’s audit
A scraped spreadsheet cannot be defended. Each row here carries the document title, the page or row locator, the source URL and the result of the live re-check — so a memo or a claim file can cite the county document rather than your own transcription.
03
Work the clock, not the biggest number
Deadlines run 2026-10-23 to 2027-06-08, and the file is sorted by them. 2 fall inside 30 days of this build and 28 inside 90, so review time goes to what closes first instead of what looks largest on a spreadsheet.
The caveats are priced in, not discovered later
121 of 121 rows carry a verification_warning stating exactly
what is weaker about them, and 12 rows are labelled estimates rather than balances.
That is what lets you promise a client what the evidence supports — and what makes the
refund offer credible rather than risky.
The process stays the same next quarter
A refresh replaces this file with a new dated snapshot. Same 21 columns, same grades, same verification labels — so the filter, the merge and the review checklist you build around it keep working instead of being rebuilt alongside the data.

These are all 10 rows of the free sample. Two are unredacted, so you can check them against the county source before you buy. The other 8 have masked APNs but keep their county and amounts.

“Days left” is computed in your browser on every load. The CSV stores deadlines as dates and anchors, never as a precomputed day count, so nothing in the file goes stale in your hands. Blank amounts mean the county does not publish one for that parcel.
Evidence standards
Not every row carries the same certainty.
Use the grade to decide how much additional verification a row needs. A grade is not a prediction that a claim succeeds.
| Grade | Rows | Evidence standard | Practical interpretation |
|---|---|---|---|
| A | 28 | County-published amount, and a deadline anchored to a date the county printed — 19 state the filing deadline outright, 9 count the statutory year from a deed date the county printed | Strongest documented starting point; confirm current status |
| B | 39 | Source located and deadline anchored to a printed county date; the county publishes no amount | Amount may need a separate county inquiry |
| C | 42 | County-published amount; deadline calculated one year from the sale date because the county publishes no recording date | Verify deed recording and the deadline basis |
| D | 12 | Estimated amount (published sale price minus published minimum bid); deadline derived from a recorder-confirmed deed date | Lead only, not a balance; further research required |
What every row carries
The document title, the source URL, a page or row locator, a live_check
result and a verification_status label. The preserved copies and their
SHA-256 digests stay in the compiler's internal master file, not in the sold CSV, and
are available on request for any row.
Every source re-fetched 2026-10-19
64 of 121 rows were found again on a live fetch, including 9 of the 28 grade A rows. 42 sit on county sites that return 403 to automated clients, though the same links open normally in a desktop browser; 3 point at a URL that now returns 404; and 12 come from a county that publishes no excess-proceeds list, so their amounts are sale-price estimates. The row says which, always. A blank re-check date is not a claim that the row is wrong.
Accuracy and legal boundary: RTC § 4675 runs the one-year claim window
from recordation of the tax collector's deed, not from the auction. For 9
grade A rows the county prints a deed date but no filing deadline, and those rows count the
statutory year from that date; each carries that caveat in
verification_warning. Grade C deadlines are earlier than the statutory date,
never later, but they are arithmetic. Published amounts can go stale. Verify deed
recordation, current funds, eligibility and the applicable deadline before acting.

Before you buy
What the dataset does — and doesn't — provide.
Does $2.06M mean funds are available today?
No. It is the sum of the amounts the counties published, on grade A and C rows only. It does not establish current availability, and it excludes the 12 grade D estimates entirely.
Why pay when the counties publish this?
Because they publish it separately, in 9 different formats — scanned PDFs, legal notices with interleaved columns, Word documents, HTML tables — and never together. The value is the union, the schema and the deadline sort, not the individual documents. If you need one county, take the free sample and go straight to that county's site.
How do I check a row?
Open the row's source_url, find the APN at the cited
source_locator, and compare the amount and deadline on the page with the
row. live_check and verification_status say how far our own
re-check got. If an A, B or C row does not match its cited document, email within 7 days
and the purchase is refunded in full.
Does every row carry a deadline the county stated?
No. 19 grade A rows quote a deadline the county stated.
9 grade A rows and 23 grade B rows rest on a deed date the
county printed but did not label as a filing deadline; all 42 grade C rows use the
sale date; the 12 grade D rows use a recorder-confirmed recording date. Every such
row says so in verification_warning and carries its anchor in
deadline_anchor_date.
Was it re-checked against the counties?
Yes, on 2026-10-19. 64 of 121 rows were found again on a live fetch, including 9 of the 28 grade A rows. 42 sit on county sites that return 403 to automated clients, though the same links open normally in a desktop browser; 3 point at a URL that now returns 404; and 12 come from a county that publishes no excess-proceeds list, so their amounts are sale-price estimates. Each row states its own result.
Does this include contact information or title research?
No. No addresses, phone numbers or emails — party is only the name the
county printed. No title search, lien priority, heirship or probate research.
How current is it?
A snapshot built 2026-10-19 from county-published documents. 2 deadlines fall inside 30 days of this build, and 28 inside 90.
The build date in the README tells you which version you hold. Deadlines are stored as
dates, never as day counts, so sorting by claim_deadline will not mislead you.
Can I share it with my team?
One organization, internal research use. No resale, redistribution or publication. The county documents remain the counties' property and subject to their terms.
