Absentee owners

The public feeds
Norfolk delinquent real estate taxesNorfolk, VA
Parcels at least one quarter behind on real estate tax for tax years 2024 and later with at least $250 due, updated daily. Includes commercial and church parcels; lots without a house number are skipped.
Norfolk open property maintenance violationsNorfolk, VA
Open violations Neighborhood Services writes under the property maintenance code (interior and exterior structure, plumbing, electrical, heat, unsafe structures), updated daily (about 5,600 open, 3,000 of them written in 2026). Each cited code section is its own row, so one inspection of a rundown house gives several signals. Zoning (City Planning) violations are left out.
Norfolk unsafe structure noticesNorfolk, VA
Open unsafe structure citations (code section 106: notice of unsafe structure, vacating an unsafe structure, placarding), updated daily (about 630 open; 360 new in the last year). These are the same rows as the Norfolk violations feed, picked out so condemned and placarded houses rank as unsafe buildings. No owner or ZIP in the feed.
Norfolk residential renovation, re-roof and demolition permitsNorfolk, VA
Permits issued on one- and two-family homes for renovations, re-roofs (and solar), additions and demolitions, updated daily (about 1,100 a year). Trade permits and new homes are left out. Pre-sale repairs and teardowns are weak signals on their own; best stacked with the violation feeds. No owner or ZIP in the feed.
Virginia Beach building maintenance code casesVirginia Beach, VA
Code cases where an inspector cited a house or apartment under the building maintenance code (exterior walls, roofs, electrical hazards, interior surfaces, unsafe and nuisance structures), updated weekly (about 2,500 in the last year; newest opened 2026-10-07). Every row in the layer carries a closing date, so cases appear to be published once they are closed: the signal is that the city cited the property, not that it is still unrepaired. Weeds, trash, vehicles and red-tagged appliances are left out. No owner or case number in the feed.
Virginia Beach unsafe and nuisance structure casesVirginia Beach, VA
Cases where the city declared a building unsafe (maintenance code section 106) or a nuisance structure (city code 23-46.1), updated weekly (about 1,070 since 2014; newest opened 2026-10). The same rows as the building maintenance feed, picked out so these rank as unsafe buildings. Cases appear once closed (every row has a closing date), which can mean repaired, demolished or boarded.
Virginia Beach delinquent real estate taxesVirginia Beach, VA
Real estate tax bills for 2024 and later that are past due by at least $250 (about 6,000 bill installments), from the treasurer's delinquent list, updated daily. Older bills (back to 2007) are mostly on vacant lots with no situs address and are left out. Owner name and mailing address are in the feed; mailing addresses are sometimes truncated (street name without the suffix).
Virginia Beach residential repair, remodel and demolition permitsVirginia Beach, VA
Residential building permits for demolitions and for repairs, remodels, re-roofs, foundation, structural and fire or storm damage work (picked out of the work description), updated daily (about 100 a month; newest 2026-10-23). Fences, decks, pools and other add-ons are left out. No owner in the feed.
Norfolk whole-home vacation rental permitsNorfolk, VA
Homes permitted as whole-home vacation rentals, where the owner does not live on site (homestays are left out), about 235, updated as permits are issued (newest 2026-10). Each is an investor-held house, mostly single-family and duplexes near the bay.
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.
