Lien Search

Determining Lien Status


When a property sale is anticipated, title companies submit requests to the Village Clerk’s Office for a search of Village records to determine if there are any outstanding liens or assessments against a property. In addition, a search for active code violations, active code cases or open building permits may also be requested. The Village Clerk’s Office issues lien certifications with this information upon written request.
