Out-of-state owners

Tax-delinquent properties

Violation notices still active on 1-3 family homes and townhomes (about 9,500; exterior maintenance, condemnation, interior and survey notices), updated daily with notices issued the day before. The detail is the violation type; condemnation notices also appear in the condemnation feed. No owner names.
Cleveland residential board-up permitsCleveland, OH
Permits to board up a residential building (about 100 a month), updated daily. A board-up nearly always means the house is empty, often after a fire, break-in or condemnation. No owner names.
Cleveland rentals with out-of-state ownersCleveland, OH
Rentals registered for the current year whose owner's address is outside Ohio (about 6,600; many out-of-state LLCs and some overseas owners), updated daily. The owner address is typed by the landlord, so a few Ohio owners who left off the state slip in. The detail is the unit count.
Medina County OH delinquent residential taxesMedina County, OH
Residential parcels (class 5xx) the county auditor has certified delinquent (about 410), with owner name and amount; the layer is refreshed daily. The detail is the year the parcel was first certified delinquent. No mailing address.

Open civil tickets for exterior property maintenance, general maintenance, rubbish, and failure to register a vacant building (about 1,800 in the past year), updated daily. The detail is the code section (3106.03 is the vacant building registry). No owner names.
Cleveland demolition permitsCleveland, OH
Demolition permits issued by Building and Housing (about 250 a year, mostly houses and garages, some commercial), updated daily. Many are city or land bank teardowns of condemned houses, so the lot often ends up with the land bank; private demolitions are the more useful leads. The detail is the wrecking contractor. No owner names.

What isn't here
- Owner names, mailing addresses and phone numbers. Public pages show counts only; phones never come from these feeds.
- Probate and divorce filings. They sit with the courts and several states restrict them; inside Parcel they come in by upload.
- Records a city or county doesn't publish as open data. If yours has a feed we've missed, tell us and we'll check it.
