| Owner of record | Lessage H Williams (as published on the Clerk's list) |
| Legal description | Lots 9/10/15/16 Blk 3, Suwannee Crest Sub-Div (as published) |
| Published base / opening bid | $2,886.08 (opening bids start at the taxes and fees owed) |
| Assessed value | Not published by the county — the Clerk's published list does not include an assessed value for this parcel, so this field is a gap in the report, not a number we estimated. |
| Property address | Not published by the county — the published sale schedule identifies the parcel by parcel ID and legal description, not a street address. |
| LienToDeed score | 76.4 / 100 — full breakdown below |
| Conservative ceiling estimate | Not available — the county's published list does not include an assessed value, so we show no number rather than invent one. When a published assessed value exists, the ceiling estimate is 65% of it, labeled Estimate. |
| How this alert routes | Score 76.4 clears the 70-point quality threshold, but with no supported ceiling estimate this listing follows in the daily email — it doesn't lead as a top match. That is the published alert policy, applied even when it makes the sample less flashy. |
| Registration | Bidders must register with a deposit posted before sale day — plan on the day before. The exact deposit amount and method: confirm with the Clerk — we don't publish a figure the county hasn't given us for this sale. |

Score breakdown — all of it
Scores are stored with their full decomposition; here is this parcel's, complete:
| Component | Points | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Value gap (taxes owed vs. assessed value) | Not scored (of 45) | No published assessed value exists, so this component contributes nothing and is excluded from the normalization — never faked. |
| Property type | 12 of 25 | Land / lots (Lots 9/10/15/16, per the published legal description). |
| Ticket size | 15 of 15 | Opening bid of $2,886.08 sits in the $1,000–$150,000 band our model treats as the liquid range. |
| Sale proximity | 15 of 15 | The sale was inside 14 days when this listing was scored — near enough to act on. |
| Total | 42 of 55 available points, normalized to 76.4 / 100. A low base bid is not a valuation — research the parcel (location, usability, anything else owed) before the score means anything. | |
