Municipal Lien Search (Unrecorded Liens)

Municipal Lien Search checks municipalities to locate unrecorded liens and violations. While the Preliminary Title Search checks for liens that are recorded in county records, the Municipal Lien Search will specifically look for items that are not recorded in the county. Below are some of the items that the Municipal Lien Search looks for:

● Code Enforcement Violations
● Building Violations
● Open Permits
● Municipal Real Estate Taxes (if applicable)
● Municipal Utility Liens

Please note that a municipal lien search can take from 3 to 14 business days. This is due to the time it takes for municipal departments to research and respond to our inquiries.
