The official source

Where the official Allegheny County list lives

The records behind this list are kept by the City of Pittsburgh Department of Finance. Many counties let anyone look up a property there for free, and some publish the whole list. Check the office's website for the format and any fee.

The free route is real: for one list in one county, the county office may be enough. What LeadCounty adds is the weekly collection from every office, matching each record to the right property, a likely-to-sell score with reasons, filters, and stacking with out-of-state owner. Pennsylvania rules and the Pennsylvania guide explain how the process works.

Why these owners may sell

Heirs often live elsewhere, share the house with siblings, and have to pay taxes and upkeep on a house they never planned to own. Many prefer a quick, simple sale.

How to work the Allegheny County list

  • Stack with out-of-state owner and vacant signals for the strongest leads.
  • Lead with patience and help: the family may still be grieving.
  • Check the transfer date: the first 3 to 12 months after the deed are when most decisions are made.
The letter to send: inherited ownersFor heirs (people only: companies and trusts are left out)

Dear [first name],

I'm sorry for your loss. I noticed the property at [property address] passed to your family [passed when], and I know that handling a house is one more thing on a long list.

If you are thinking about selling, I can buy it as-is: no repairs, no clean-out, no agent fees, and a closing date that suits you and the other heirs.
