How this service works

Cited adopted property-tax rate components for a city, county, ZIP, or address, for buyer, owner and lender agents, from NCDOR and selected TN, TX, and FL adapters. Returns the same records as locus_property_tax_rates. Use this when your client can only call paid x402 routes. Use locus_property_tax_rates instead when you can call Locus free tools (REST tools/call or MCP).

Output

A JSON report containing a unique scan ID, generation timestamp, local records, parcel-level rules, property tax rate data, and risk signals that may affect the property's use, cost, plans, or future value, along with any relevant caveats.

Example use cases

Example prompt

“Can you run a Locus property scan on 742 Evergreen Terrace, Springfield, IL 62704 and tell me about the tax rates, parcel rules, and any risk signals that could affect owning or developing it?”

When to prefer

Side effects

Address not found or too ambiguous — returns empty records array
Invalid ZIP code format — input validation error
No parcel-level data available for the location — minimal records returned
