Lien Searches

We search construction/mechanics liens, federal and state/provincial tax liens, judgment liens, condominium liens, and various municipal charges depending on jurisdiction and property type.

Lien registration locations vary by type and jurisdiction. Construction liens may be filed at land registry offices. Tax liens may be filed federally or at county/municipal levels. We know where to search for each type.

Construction liens can attach to real property and take priority over other interests. In real estate transactions, outstanding construction liens must typically be resolved before closing or they may remain on title.

For property-based searches, provide the legal description or property address. For debtor-based searches, provide the exact legal name of the individual or business. Requirements vary by lien type and jurisdiction.

Turnaround varies by jurisdiction and lien type. Some searches can be completed same-day while others requiring manual court searches may take several business days.
