What is a municipal lien search?
A municipal lien search is a search that is conducted to determine whether there are any unrecorded special assessment liens or unrecorded liens arising by virtue of ordinances, unrecorded agreements as to impact and other developmental fees, unpaid waste fees payable to the county or municipality or unpaid service charges under Ch. 159, F.S. or county ordinance. This search will aid title agents in removing the standard exception for special assessments, service charges and waste fees from title insurance policies.
