A Municipal Lien Search is an important part of purchasing a property and here’s why…

There are so many i’s to dot an t’s to cross when it comes to buying a property that small things can slip through the cracks. When you have a Municipal Lien Search performed for you, you protect the buyers from something slipping through the cracks that can end up as a costly oversight. Going through this process can save the buyer time, money, and heartache when it comes to unknowingly acquiring debt from municipal charges..

Just take a look at some of the great reasons why getting a Municipal Lien Search should be a standard part of any closing process:

• Unrecorded Municipal Liens: There can be so many unrecorded charges on a property. Permits left open or other unrecorded charges are no longer the responsibility of the former property owner but could then go to the new owner if they go unpaid.
• Title Insurance Agents are not conducting these searches: Unfortunately, there is no one party that this responsibility falls on, therefore it can go unresolved if it is overlooked.
• Better safe than sorry: Although this search can have a cost associated with it, it can prevent you/your client from paying a much larger cost when it discovers unpaid taxes and balances.
• Coverage: A Florida Municipal Lien Search from Property Debt Research includes these reports:
  1. Real Estate Property Taxes
  2. Code Enforcement Violations
  3. Unrecorded Municipal and County Debts
  4. Open and Expired Permits
  5. Special Assessments
