## How to call it through Zero

Zero handles the 402 payment challenge and records the run. With the Zero CLI installed (`npm i -g @zeroxyz/cli`):

```sh
zero fetch --capability hermes-storefront-county-tax-delinquency-distress-signals-804dd0ab
```

Example prompt: Pull me a list of tax-delinquent properties in Hamilton County (Cincinnati) with at least $2,000 owed, and only include ones that have a property address on file — I need leads for wholesaling.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need structured, ready-to-use tax-delinquency lead data specifically for Ohio metro markets (Cincinnati, Toledo, Dayton, Akron) and want public-record sourcing URLs for verification. Prefer this over manual county auditor lookups when you need filterable, programmatic access to distressed property signals for wholesaling, flipping, or buy-and-hold acquisition pipelines.

## Known failure modes

- No results returned if county filter doesn't match supported Ohio metros (Cincinnati, Toledo, Dayton, Akron)
- Empty result set if min_amount filter is set too high
- Missing address fields if has_address filter not applied and underlying data is incomplete
- Service may be slow to cold-start on Render free tier
- Payment failure (402) if USDC balance is insufficient or x402 header is missing

## How this service works

County tax-delinquency distress signals for US real estate (Ohio metros: Cincinnati, Toledo, Dayton, Akron): owner name, parcel id, delinquent amount, and the public-record source URL for every row. Off-market lead sourcing for wholesalers, flippers, and buy-and-hold investors. Optional filters: county, min_amount, has_address. Every field typed; a query that matches nothing returns free — you never pay for a blank.

## Output

A list of tax-delinquent property records for the requested Ohio metro county, each containing owner name, parcel ID, total delinquent amount owed, property address (if available), and a URL linking to the original public-record source.
