How it is built

How the Broward County list is made

Broward County's absentee owner list comes from the Broward County Property Appraiser data, published by Broward County GIS property roll records: we read the owner's mailing address compared with the property address for every parcel, every week. A property is on the list when: owner's mailing address is a different house/street than the property (owner-occupancy credit and same-town PO boxes not counted).

Broward County data dictionaryMailing address differs from the property.

Government, bank, builder and church owners are left out by default, so the count is owners you can actually write to.

The official source

Where the official Broward County list lives

The records behind this list are kept by the Broward County Property Appraiser data, published by Broward County GIS. 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 tired landlord. Florida rules and the Florida guide explain how the process works.

Why these owners may sell

Owners who do not live in the house are less attached to it, and every repair, vacancy or tax bill is a reason to sell.

How to work the Broward County list

  • Stack with owned 10+ years (tired landlords) or code violations.
  • Use the mailing address for direct mail: it is where the owner really lives.
  • Check the portfolio count: an owner with 5+ properties may sell several at once.
