Reported tax/foreclosure distress COUNT + breakdown near a point (wired counties; free preview)

FREE preview of nearby parcels with a REPORTED public-record tax or foreclosure status near a point — tax delinquency, tax-lien sale, tax/mortgage foreclosure, sheriff sale, tax auction — from wired official county/treasurer/sheriff GIS sources. Returns COVERAGE + a nearby COUNT + a distress-type breakdown (byType), NOT the itemized records: the per-record site address, amount owed, and parcel id are the paid locus-tax-liens lookup. Use when the user asks whether/how many tax-distressed, delinquent, foreclosure, tax-sale, or sheriff-sale properties are near an address in a covered county. Coverage (registry-derived): Pinal County, AZ (tax delinquency); Yavapai County, AZ (tax-lien sale); Shasta County, CA (tax auction); Orange County, FL (mortgage foreclosure); Dakota County, MN (mortgage foreclosure); Craven County, NC (tax foreclosure); Allen County, OH (tax delinquency); Franklin County, OH (tax foreclosure, tax delinquency); Mahoning County, OH (tax delinquency); Stark County, OH (tax delinquency); Horry County, SC (tax delinquency); Bexar County, TX (tax foreclosure, mortgage foreclosure); Cache County, UT (tax delinquency); Milwaukee County, WI (sheriff sale). Outside coverage it returns an explicit out_of_coverage with the supported scope. NEVER an owner/redemption/party name, and NEVER a 'distressed'/'deal'/'buy'/investment verdict or characterization beyond the cited public-record status. Filings are procedural — a parcel may be redeemed, paid, dismissed, or already sold. Read-only. Use this when you need a nearby count and breakdown, without individual lien records. Use locus-tax-liens instead when you need itemized public lien records and citations. Direct flat-body route for this one free resource; no API key, payment, or catalog wrapper. Return only the cited bounded evidence described here; this route never produces a paid brief or full report.
