Retrieve a property-tax document for a loan file
Source-backed example. Practical decision guidance is proposed and untested; this is not a full implementation guide.
The problem
Loan files need an official property-tax bill, but finding the correct local portal and document takes manual searching.
Agent job
Use the property address to find the county portal and retrieve the tax document.
Expected output
An official tax-bill document for the loan file.

Why use this
A loan-file preparer may have a property address but still need to identify the correct taxing authority and tax period. Similar addresses, parcel splits and archived documents can make a plausible download the wrong evidence for the file.
This job could prepare a traceable retrieval record linking the requested property to the selected official document. Clear identity and date checks help a reviewer verify the attachment without treating document retrieval as a conclusion about tax status or loan eligibility.
Why an agent / simpler alternative
- Useful judgment
Resolve jurisdiction and parcel identity, distinguish document types and flag mismatches requiring human review.
- Simpler alternative
Use a known official portal directly when the parcel identifier and required period are already established.
- Unsuitable when
The task requires unauthorized personal data or would infer payment status and lending eligibility from a retrieved bill.
Proposed inputs
- Name
Property request
- Owner
Authorized loan-file owner
- Minimum scope
Minimum address/parcel details and requested tax period
- Quality check
Confirm unit, jurisdiction and permitted disclosure
- Name
Document requirements
- Owner
Reviewer
- Minimum scope
Required bill type, period and official-source criteria
- Quality check
Separate bill retrieval from payment verification
Access and setup — proposed or unknown
- Proposed minimum
Use fictional addresses and portal-result descriptions; no live portal search, borrower data entry or download.
- Compatibility unknowns
Current county access, address matching, document availability and runtime compatibility are unknown.
- External actions requiring approval
Transmitting property/borrower details, paid document access, file storage or sharing requires scoped authorization.
Expected deliverable and review checks
- Proposed artifact
Retrieval checklist with portal identity, parcel match, document period and unresolved exceptions.
- Critical checks
Verify official source and property identifiers; inspect period/document type; preserve unresolved unit or parcel differences.
- Missing output evidence
This overlay adds no new output inspection, execution or validation; consult the referenced canonical source outcome limits.
Failure signals and proposed responses
- Signal
A search returns a neighboring parcel
- Why it matters
A convincing bill belongs to the wrong property
- Proposed response
Compare parcel and address evidence before selection.
- Signal
An archived bill is mistaken for the requested period
- Why it matters
The loan file contains stale evidence
- Proposed response
Match the explicit tax period and hold missing years.
Effort and cost — unknown
- Setup work
Define property identity and required document scope.
- Ongoing review
Reviewer verifies any future retrieved document before loan-file use.
- Unknowns
Portal coverage, parcel history, retrieval fees and review effort are unknown.
First check — proposed, unexecuted
- Status
proposed_unexecuted
- Synthetic fixture
Invent three portal results with a neighboring parcel, older bill and matching period; draft selection checks only.
- Acceptance checks
Reject mismatches; preserve uncertainty; retrieve no actual document and make no tax-status conclusion.
- Stop conditions
Stop if identity, official-source status or permitted disclosure is unresolved.
Limits
A retrieved tax document cannot establish payment completion, property ownership or a credit decision.

- Proposed Canadian adaptation
- Assess authorized municipal tax portals for the relevant Canadian property. Obtain owner/borrower permission where needed and validate parcel identity and tax period; Canadian portal access was not tested.
- Recommended approval boundaries
- Authorize borrower-data transmission only to specifically approved providers. A qualified lender/compliance reviewer must decide matches, exceptions and lending outcomes.
