Cincinnati seller signals from public records

Cincinnati open code enforcement casesCincinnati, OH

Open residential building, barricade, demolition and lead cases inside the City of Cincinnati, updated daily (the feed also covers other Hamilton County towns). Yard parking, trees, fences, lights, signs and commercial cases are left out; recycling carts left at vacant homes are kept. Used instead of the Vacant & Foreclosed Property Registration, which publishes no addresses.

Clermont County OH delinquent residential taxesClermont County, OH

Residential parcels with at least $250 of delinquent tax on the auditor's list (about 730), updated daily. The property city is the taxing district (for example Batavia Twp), not the postal city, so check the ZIP before mailing.

Cincinnati private lot abatement ordersCincinnati, OH

Private lots and yards the city ordered cleaned of tall grass, litter or junk after a complaint (about 1,200 a year), updated daily. When the owner doesn't act, the city cleans and bills the owner, and unpaid bills go on the tax duplicate; repeat orders on one address usually mean a vacant or neglected house. One complaint can have several cleanings, so a property can appear more than once. No owner names.

Building and wrecking permits issued under the Residential Code of Ohio (1-3 family homes) for existing houses: alterations, additions, repairs and demolitions (about 1,300 a year), updated daily. Pre-sale renovations and teardowns are weak signals on their own; best stacked with code enforcement. No owner names.
