Property Records Lien Search Requests

Requests from interested parties can be made for the City to check its records for outstanding liens against a property.   There is a fee associated with this search of records and it will disclose any liens and special assessments, unpaid utilities (water, sewer, and garbage), open/expired permits, and code enforcement violations. A property search report form is required for each address.

All property search requests can be emailed, faxed, or mailed to the City Clerk’s Office.
