Illustrative. Figures are rounded from a real register built entirely from public records (Maryland SDAT, MD iMap, and county data); the town is not named, and nothing here describes any town's policy or implies its endorsement. Screens come from a demo register with names and addresses changed.

  1. 01The register

    Every parcel scored, with reasons.

    Each point comes with a written line naming the public record behind it.

    A parcel scored 40, Watch, with three written reasons: absentee owner, owner is a trustee, last transfer 26 years ago
  2. 02The parcel record

    One parcel. Every public record.

    Owner, values, sales history, flood zone, septic or sewer, and a dated timeline on one page.

    Watch: one parcel, every record
    Public-records timeline for a parcel: transfers, a foreclosure filing, and the sale before it, each dated and sourced
    The parcel's record: owner, mailing address, land use, acres, assessed values, last transfer, and water and sewer
  3. 03The map

    The whole town on one map.

    Status colours, flood, sewer and program layers, 311 and foreclosure dots, and every lot one owner holds.

    Watch: the map
    A subdivision of lots outlined on the map, all held by one owner
    Map legend: status colours, foreclosure, 311 and permit dots, flood hazard and program area layers
  4. 04Ask the Register

    Ask in plain English.

    Answers come straight from your register and link to the parcels behind them.

    Watch: Ask the Register
    A question about foreclosures, 311 complaints and flood zones, answered with counts and links to each list of parcels
  5. 05Field mode

    Inspect from the sidewalk.

    Your phone's GPS finds the parcel you're standing on; add photos and a note on the spot.

    Phone screen: Where am I? finds the parcel you are standing on, with owner, occupancy, and buttons for photo and notice
    GPS ±6 m📷 Photo + note
  6. 06Notices

    Notices that cite your code.

    For verified town governments: the letter quotes the ordinance and computes the deadline.

    What changed this week.

    New foreclosures, sales and score changes land in one list to clear.

    Dashboard: parcel counts by status, what changed last night, and a list of alerts to clear
    Alerts to clear: two new foreclosure filings and parcels whose score crossed into Watch

    Board-ready in one click.

    Vacant lot inventory, owner portfolio, mailing list, enforcement docket: dated PDF or CSV.

What it found

≈300 / 420

parcels with owners who mail elsewhere

Absentee isn't the same as distress.

An absentee owner alone stays below the Watch line, and records can never mark a lot vacant; only a field observation can. That leaves a short, defensible list to look at first.
