Tax-Defaulted Property Leads
Counties publish tax-default rolls and auction lists every year — but the data is scattered across dozens of PDFs, spreadsheets, and county websites. MoveLead pulls it all into one place, scores the opportunity, and helps you reach the owner directly.
A tax-defaulted property is one where the owner has fallen behind on property taxes. In California, residential parcels generally become subject to a county tax sale after five years of unpaid taxes; non-residential and certain nuisance parcels can be sold sooner. During the delinquency window, the owner can still redeem by paying back taxes, penalties, and costs.
That window is the opportunity. Most owners facing a tax sale either don't realize how close they are to losing the property, or want to offload it but never get a real offer. A direct, well-timed letter from a serious buyer can be the difference between losing the property at auction for back taxes and walking away with cash in hand. MoveLead helps you find those parcels, understand the risks, and reach the owner before everyone else.
MoveLead ingests county tax-default and auction data — APN, situs address, year defaulted, minimum bid, and assessed value — and normalizes it into one searchable feed.
In California, residential parcels generally become subject to county sale after 5 years of unpaid taxes. Filter for 5+ year delinquencies to focus on parcels approaching the auction window.
Every parcel comes with risk flags — surviving liens, missing situs address, vacant land, code violations, title friction — so you stop bidding blind on parcels that look cheap and turn out to be unbuildable.
Send postcards or letters to the recorded owner address straight from the property record. Most owners facing a tax sale never get a useful offer before the auction. Be the one who does.
MoveLead is a public-record intelligence platform for real estate investors. It surfaces tax-defaulted parcels, scores risk, and helps you contact owners by mail. It is not legal, tax, or investment advice, and it is not a way to take property without a legitimate purchase or redemption. Tax sales are run by counties — winning a parcel still requires bidding at the official auction, paying the price, and going through proper title and due diligence afterward.
The opportunity is real, but the process matters. Use MoveLead to find the parcels, understand the risks, and reach owners responsibly — then do your own due diligence before you bid or buy.
