What each signal means
Code violations
The city cited the property for its condition. Landlords tired of repairs and owners who can't afford them both show up here.
Usually from: City code enforcement. Weight in Deal Radar's score: 14, halving every 180 days.
Permits
Work is being done: repairs, a remodel or a teardown, sometimes before a sale. A weak signal on its own.
Usually from: Building permits (pre-sale repairs). Weight in Deal Radar's score: 4, halving every 120 days.
Absentee owners
The tax bill goes somewhere other than the property. A landlord or an heir.
Usually from: Assessor: mailing address differs from property. Weight in Deal Radar's score: 6, doesn't fade.
The public feeds
Montgomery County MD housing code casesMontgomery County, MD
Housing code cases that are still open, ended in a citation, or found violations the owner then fixed (routine triennial rental inspections and unfounded complaints are left out), updated weekly. Most rows (about 85%) are violations already corrected, a weaker signal than an open case or a citation; the detail shows which. No owner names.
Montgomery County MD house demolition permitsMontgomery County, MD
Permits to demolish single-family houses (about 200 a year), updated daily. Teardowns cluster in Bethesda, Chevy Chase and Potomac where builders buy older houses for the lot; neighbors of a teardown are prime prospects. No owner names.
Montgomery County MD home renovation permits over $25,000Montgomery County, MD
Alteration, addition and repair permits of $25,000 or more on houses, townhouses and duplexes (about 2,400 a year), updated daily. Pre-sale and post-purchase renovations; a weak signal alone, best stacked with others. Outside Rockville and Gaithersburg, which issue their own permits. No owner names.
Montgomery County MD individually owned rental houses and condosMontgomery County, MD
Houses, townhouses and condos with a county rental license held by an individual or a trust rather than a company (about 16,300), updated daily: mom-and-pop landlords. No owner names or mailing addresses, so pair the tax ID with the state assessment record.
Montgomery County MD unlicensed, revoked or condemned rentalsMontgomery County, MD
Rental houses and condos the county lists as unlicensed, with a revoked or suspended license, or condemned (about 3,100), updated daily. Landlords out of compliance face fines and often prefer to sell. The detail shows which status. 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.
