Find liens from the county office
If you don’t mind spending some time digging on the internet, you can search liens on search engines.
Lines are a matter of public record, so you can simply go to the county’s official website to search for the result. The searches usually are free, but it may cost you a little if you need a copy of the report. It depends on counties.
Take King County as an example:
1) Search King County property records on Google.
2) Go to the official website.
3) Click Parcel Viewer.
4) Click Start Parcel Viewer.
5) Enter the property address on the top left corner and click Search.
6) Get the property information. You can get more details by clicking Property Report.
Different states and counties are varied, some county websites may ask for names before searching. In some rural areas, they don’t have online search features, so you have to go to the office in person and ask a county clerk for help. Almost every county allows you to contact real property research during office hours.
Conclusion:
The reason to find liens on a property are varied, the methods in the post would help you achieve your goal. We’ve compared the property report from King County and BeenVerified, BeenVerified has the same data as King County. The County official property report only provides information related to the property, you can’t find the property’s current owner or previous owner from their property report. If you want to know more about the neighborhood, you have to run another search. But it’s a free method.
So it all depends on you.
