Hello Bigger Pockets


I contacted a specific county and they sent me a form to fill out of which Tax file I want. Bolded below is the form they sent along which type it's under. Crazy they are charging hundreds of dollars, but more than likely this niche is untouched, so I don't mind paying.

Now my question is which of these defining the "Tax Delinquent" file? Is it the:
I. PTS FILE? V. SAM FILE? OR VI?



I. PTS FILE : Cost between $100.00 and $500.00

This file identifies the 300,000 + âsecuredâ tax parcels located within the
County. It includes parcel number, Tax Rate Area ( TRA ), Assessed Value,
( Land, Improvements, Personal Property ) Property Owners Name, Property
Address, Exemption information, current tax bill status and additional data.


II. LEVY FILE: Cost between $75.00 and $150.00
This file provides information on each LEVY assessed against Secured Tax
parcels (PTS ) in the County. The primary sort is CORTAC number, and for
each parcel, there is a separate record for each applicable Levy code. The file
shows Levy Code, description of Levy, 1st and 2nd installment amount, date paid,
Tax Rate Area, Special District taxes and tax bill number.

III. CORTAC FILE: Cost between $75.00 and $150.00
This files summarizes Secured Tax payment data for ALL secured
parcels. The primary sort CORTAC number. Includes Parcel number
amount of each installment and installment payment indicator and tax sale
indicator.

IV. 1915 ACT BOND FILE: Cost between $75.00 and $150.00
This file identifies parcels required to pay for 1915 Act Bond Redemptions.
It includes parcel number, Assessment District ID, Bond description and
amount, 1st and 2nd installment amounts, Bond Principal, Interest and Fees
Levy codes and revenue accounts

V. SAM FILE: Cost between $300.00 and $700.00

First time customers must pay $500.00 up front for their first SAM File
This file provides information on delinquent secured tax parcels, and includes
Tax Sale ID, status, Parcel Map, Book and Page, Parcel Number, Tax Rate
Area, date of original delinquency, amount of delinquency, breakdown of
delinquent taxes and penalties by tax year, installment plans, and payment
history.

VI. SPT SUPPLEMENTAL FILE: Cost between $200.00 and $1,000.00
This file requires the requestor to specify âfromâ and âtoâ dates, and selects all
Supplemental activity âflaggedâ during the specified dates. It includes Parcel
number, Owner name and address, net value change to land , improvements
and personal property, HO Exemptions, penalties, 1st and 2nd installment
amounts and payment dates, delinquency dates and event dates.
