The tool reads the county auditor's full parcel file, keeps commercial and mixed-use buildings in the downtown core built before 1940, and scores each one from 0 to 100 on signals that tend to come before an off-market sale.
Every point traces back to a public record: the treasurer's unpaid balance, the deed history, the owner's mailing address and the appraisal. Government, church and school property is left out, and buildings already on the market are shown but scored zero.
The score is a reason to look, not a verdict. It says which owners might take a call. It says nothing about the building's condition or the owner's plans, and weights are best guesses until real conversations prove them.
