This week's shape

This week is mostly Fairfield County tax-delinquency volume, with a few better calls where the record is vacant, older, or the balance is large enough to matter. One Columbus code item is active but it is still just a scheduled zoning inspection, so it is not a priority call compared with the tax list.

#	Type	City	Status	Address	Owner	Ranking basis	Access
1	Property Tax Delinquency	—	DELINQUENT	1xx BLACKLICK-EASTERN RD UNIT 400 PICKERINGTON OH 43147	WALKERS CORNER II LLC	This is the biggest financial-distress signal in the batch by a wide margin. It is the kind of record where you call first because the balance suggests the owner may be under real pressure, not just behind on a small bill.	Sign in
2	Property Tax Delinquency	—	DELINQUENT	1xx BUSEY RD CANAL WINCHESTER 43110 CANAL WINCHESTER OH 43110	DIXON CAROL J	Large tax delinquency on a major corridor. The size alone makes it worth a fast call, and records like this tend to be better than the small-balance scattered files for getting a response.	Sign in
3	Property Tax Delinquency	—	DELINQUENT	0 LEONE CT PICKERINGTON 43147 43147	VIOLET MEADOWS FARMS LTD	Vacant and large enough to justify attention. Vacancy plus a serious delinquency is one of the cleaner distress combos for wholesalers.	Sign in
4	Property Tax Delinquency	—	DELINQUENT	1xx FANTASY WAY PICKERINGTON 43147 PICKERINGTON OH 43147	SMITH MICHAEL	High balance, and it sits in a part of the county where these records can turn into motivated seller conversations quickly. This is a call-now file, not a watch-list file.	Sign in
5	Property Tax Delinquency	—	DELINQUENT	0 GOODWIN AV 43130	PEARCE FRANCES	Two delinquent records tied to the same vacant parcel increase the odds this is messy and unresolved. That makes it more useful than a single small-balance entry.	Sign in
