C3Marley: Dead Orgs Still on the Tax Roll?
A Harris County parcel-screening tool that compares tax-exempt property owners with IRS and Texas records, showing public-record signals for closer review.
- For
- Harris County officials and local reporters
- Worth noticing
- The score uses fixed points; name-only IRS matches are explicitly flagged for manual confirmation.
Field notes
The score combines signals from IRS, HCAD, the Texas Comptroller, the Secretary of State, and other listed sources, with fixed point values rather than hand-tuned judgments. The page distinguishes franchise-exempt owners from forfeited or inactive records: exemption status itself scores zero, while other signals may still affect a parcel’s total. A worked example warns that an IRS match based only on an owner name needs confirmation.
