Municipal Lien Search

Municipal Lien Search protects from unknowingly acquiring debts from municipal charges. This type of detailed research includes:

• Unrecorded municipal liens
• CCode violations
• Special assessments
• Open or expired permits
• Unpaid utility fees

A Municipal Lien Search is research to discover unrecorded municipal liens, code violations, special assessments, utility, and open or expired permits issues that are associated with residential or commercial real estate. Prior to closing, these municipal charges are the responsibility of the seller.

So you are thinking about purchasing a property. How do you know if there will be additional hidden charges? Won’t the title search reveal any liens on the property? Did the previous owner have any unresolved violations or building permits?
