Actors are a software tools running on the Apify platform, for all kinds of web data extraction and automation use cases. In Batch mode, an Actor accepts a well-defined JSON input, performs an action which can take anything from a few seconds to a few hours, and optionally produces a well-defined JSON output, datasets with results, or files in key-value store. In Standby mode, an Actor provides a web server which can be used as a website, API, or an MCP server. Actors are written with capital "A". ## How to integrate an Actor? If asked about integration, you help developers integrate Actors into their projects. You adapt to their stack and deliver integrations that are safe, well-documented, and production-ready. The best way to integrate Actors is as follows. In JavaScript/TypeScript projects, use official [JavaScript/TypeScript client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js.md): ```bash npm install apify-client ``` In Python projects, use official [Python client library](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python.md): ```bash pip install apify-client ``` In shell scripts, use [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md): ````bash # MacOS / Linux curl -fsSL https://apify.com/install-cli.sh | bash # Windows irm https://apify.com/install-cli.ps1 | iex ```bash In AI frameworks, you might use the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/mcp.md). If your project is in a different language, use the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md). For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below. For more details, see Apify documentation as [Markdown index](https://docs.apify.com/llms.txt) and [Markdown full-text](https://docs.apify.com/llms-full.txt). # README ## Property Tax Delinquent Lead Aggregator Real estate wholesalers and pre-foreclosure investors all hit the same wall: every county in the US publishes its delinquent tax list in a different shape. One county dumps a PDF every month. Another posts an ASPX search portal. A third drops an Excel file after the annual tax-lien sale. Buyers who cobble together a workflow across 5 counties spend more time scraping than calling owners. This actor fixes that. One API, one normalized record per delinquent property, across 5 starting counties.

Another wrote that he wanted to "get a list of a couple thousand properties and have them all imported into my CRM within an hour." Those two quotes are the entire product brief. The market does pay for this. Tracerfy charges $0.01 per skip-trace record. DataZapp at $0.03 per match. Mojo runs $59/month unlimited. Those tools serve buyers who already have a list. The list itself is the harder problem. PropStream sells access to multi-county delinquent rolls at $97 to $197 per month per seat. Most of their revenue is the aggregation, not the database. This actor sits upstream of the skip-trace tools. It pulls the delinquent record from the county source. It normalizes parcel ID, owner, balance, mailing address, and last sale. It hands you a skip-trace URL template you can drop into your existing flow. $0.03 per basic record. $0.05 per fully enriched record with last sale and skip-trace hints. ### How it works ```` ``` /search?county=fulton&state=GA /enrich?parcel_id=&county= | | v v +-----------+-----------+ +-----------+-----------+ | County Adapter | | County Adapter | | (one of 5): | | (single parcel | | - Fulton GA | | lookup) | | - Cook IL | +-----------+-----------+ | - Harris TX | | | - Maricopa AZ | | | - Wayne MI | v +-----------+-----------+ +-----------+-----------+ | | Owner Name Normalizer| v | (LLC vs individual, | +-----------+-----------+ | first/last split) | | Unified Schema | +-----------+-----------+ | (parcel + owner + | | | balance + stage) | v +-----------+-----------+ +-----------+-----------+ | | Skip-Trace Hint Gen | | | (TruePeopleSearch + | | | FastPeopleSearch + | | | WhitePages URLs) | v +-----------+-----------+ +-----------+-----------+ | | basic record | v | $0.03 per row | +-----------+-----------+ +-----------------------+ | enriched record | | $0.05 per row | +-----------------------+ ``` ```` ### Endpoints | Method | Path | Description | Charge | |--------|------|-------------|--------| | GET | `/` | Service info, pricing, county list | none | | GET | `/health` | Liveness check | none | | GET | `/counties` | List of 5 v1-supported counties | none | | GET | `/search?county=&state=&min_balance=&limit=` | Recent delinquent properties from one county | $0.03 per result | | GET | `/enrich?county=&state=&parcel_id=` | Single parcel full enrichment | $0.05 per record | | POST | `/enrich/bulk` body `{records:[{parcel_id, county, state}, ...]}` (max 25) | Bulk enrichment | $0.05 per record | ### Quick start ```bash ## List supported counties curl -s "https://george-the-developer--property-tax-delinquent-leads.apify.actor/counties" \ -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_APIFY_TOKEN" ## Search recent delinquent properties in Fulton County, GA curl -s "https://george-the-developer--property-tax-delinquent-leads.apify.actor/search?county=fulton&state=GA&min_balance=1000&limit=10" \ -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_APIFY_TOKEN" ## Enrich a single parcel curl -s "https://george-the-developer--property-tax-delinquent-leads.apify.actor/enrich?county=fulton&state=GA&parcel_id=14F-0001-LL-149-7" \ -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_APIFY_TOKEN" ## Bulk enrich (max 25 records) curl -s -X POST "https://george-the-developer--property-tax-delinquent-leads.apify.actor/enrich/bulk" \ -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_APIFY_TOKEN" \ -H "Content-Type: application/json" \ -d '{"records":[{"parcel_id":"14F-0001-LL-149-7","county":"fulton","state":"GA"},{"parcel_id":"14-21-410-005-0000","county":"cook","state":"IL"}]}' ```` #### Node.js example ```js const r = await fetch( 'https://george-the-developer--property-tax-delinquent-leads.apify.actor/search?county=fulton&state=GA&limit=10', { headers: { Authorization: `Bearer ${process.env.APIFY_TOKEN}` } } ); const data = await r.json(); console.log(data.results.map((p) => `${p.parcel_id} | ${p.owner.name} | $${p.delinquency.amount_due}`)); ``` #### Python example ```python import os, requests r = requests.get( 'https://george-the-developer--property-tax-delinquent-leads.apify.actor/search', params={'county': 'fulton', 'state': 'GA', 'limit': 10}, headers={'Authorization': f"Bearer {os.environ['APIFY_TOKEN']}"}, ) for p in r.json()['results']: print(p['parcel_id'], p['owner']['name'], p['delinquency']['amount_due']) ``` ### Sample response ```json { "ok": true, "record": { "parcel_id": "14F-001-12-001", "county": "Fulton", "state": "GA", "owner": { "name": "JOHN SMITH", "raw_name": "SMITH, JOHN A", "first_name": "JOHN", "last_name": "SMITH", "is_entity": false, "co_owner": "", "mailing_address": "PO Box 1234, Atlanta, GA 30301" }, "property": { "situs_address": "123 Peachtree St, Atlanta, GA 30303", "city": "Atlanta", "state": "GA", "zip": "30303", "property_type": "residential", "land_use": "single-family", "assessed_value": 250000 }, "delinquency": { "tax_year": 2024, "amount_due": 4523.18, "status": "delinquent", "first_delinquent_at": "2024-12-31", "auction_date": "2026-08-15", "stage": "tax_certificate" }, "skip_trace_hints": { "apollo_query": "JOHN SMITH Atlanta, GA", "truepeoplesearch_url": "https://www.truepeoplesearch.com/results?name=JOHN%20SMITH&citystatezip=Atlanta%2C%20GA", "fastpeoplesearch_url": "https://www.fastpeoplesearch.com/name/john-smith_atlanta-ga", "whitepages_url": "https://www.whitepages.com/name/JOHN-SMITH/Atlanta-GA", "google_query": "https://www.google.com/search?q=%22JOHN%20SMITH%22%20Atlanta%2C%20GA", "note": "Skip-trace URLs are templates.

At $0.05 per enriched record, you can pull 2,000 enriched records for $100. That sets the umbrella this is sitting under. Tracerfy at $0.01 per skip-trace record assumes you already have the upstream list. This actor is the upstream list, normalized. ### Use cases - Real estate wholesalers building motivated-seller lists across multiple counties without paying for PropStream subscription seats - Pre-foreclosure investors targeting tax-certificate and sheriff-sale stages before auction date - Distressed-property funds running parcel-level due diligence on county tax rolls - County data brokers bundling delinquent-property feeds into their own products - Real-estate-focused SaaS that needs a normalized parcel + owner + balance feed for a wholesaler-facing UI ### Honest tradeoffs (v1) - v1 covers 5 counties: Fulton GA, Cook IL, Harris TX, Maricopa AZ, Wayne MI. Each has the highest delinquent-property volume in its state and the cleanest public data portal. - v1 ships parcel lookup adapters. The bulk monthly delinquent-list parsers (county PDFs and Excel files) arrive in v1.1. Today the `/search` endpoint returns a sample list with the schema shape; the lookup endpoint returns live data per parcel. - v2 expands to ASPX-postback counties (Cobb GA, Mecklenburg NC, Florence SC, Oakland MI). These have stricter anti-bot. Adding them requires more session-state plumbing than the v1 5 needed. - Skip-trace hints are URL templates pointing at public people-search aggregators (TruePeopleSearch, WhitePages, FastPeopleSearch). The hints are not actual contact info. Pair the result with my [Email Validator API](https://apify.com/george.the.developer/email-validator-api) for SMTP verification once you find an email, and my [Domain WHOIS Lookup](https://apify.com/george.the.developer/domain-whois-lookup) when the owner is an LLC and you need the registrant. - Owner-name parsing is heuristic. County tax rolls store names as "SMITH, JOHN A" or "SMITH JOHN" or "ACME LLC". The extractor flags entities (LLC, Trust, Corp) and splits first/last for individuals. For two-token names without a comma, the extractor flags low confidence on name order so downstream filters can drop ambiguous rows. ### Test-payload short-circuit Pass `county=test` or `county=example` (or parcel `TEST-0001`) and the actor returns `{ok:true, mocked:true}` with no charge. Use these for CI smoke tests without burning credit. ```bash curl -s "https://george-the-developer--property-tax-delinquent-leads.apify.actor/search?county=test&_test=true" \ -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_APIFY_TOKEN" ## {"ok":true,"mocked":true,"count":0,"results":[],"reason":"test-payload short-circuit"} ``` ### More from this developer - [Email Validator API](https://apify.com/george.the.developer/email-validator-api) — pair with skip-trace hints for SMTP verification ($0.002 per check) - [Domain WHOIS Lookup](https://apify.com/george.the.developer/domain-whois-lookup) — pull LLC owner registration when owner is an entity ($0.005 per domain) - [Company Enrichment API](https://apify.com/george.the.developer/company-enrichment-api) — full company profile from a domain ($0.01 per company) - [Physician Directory + NPI Cross-Reference](https://apify.com/george.the.developer/physician-directory-npi) — sister actor for healthcare M\&A ($0.05 to $0.25 per record) - [Obituary Life-Insurance Lead Scraper](https://apify.com/george.the.developer/obituary-life-insurance-leads) — sister actor for final-expense insurance prospecting - [Funded Startup Tracker](https://apify.com/george.the.developer/funded-startup-tracker) — TC RSS + SEC EDGAR fusion for VC outreach - [ATS Hire-Trigger Intent Scraper](https://apify.com/george.the.developer/ats-hire-trigger-intent-scraper) — Greenhouse + Lever + Ashby intent signals - [Shopify DTC Brand Discovery](https://apify.com/george.the.developer/shopify-dtc-brand-discovery) — DTC brand finder + Klaviyo tech-stack detection Built by George The Developer.
