Municipal Searches
Uncover hidden risks and opportunities with municipal searches service.
Municipal (Departmental) Searches disclose historical/public records of property taxes, special assessments, utility balances and liens, violations, and open and expired permits regarding a property. These searches are invaluable tools for buyers, lenders and real estate attorneys to assess the property for any potential issues that won’t be found in the County Clerk record.
While some states’ standard contracts don’t call for Municipal Searches, in New York, it is a standard practice to order municipal searches along with title search to confirm if there are any outstanding violations imposed by the municipality(ies).
