How do I find out what is owed on a city lien? The Lis Pendens search shows that the city of Atlanta and the Atlanta police department have a lien on the property. I think it is because they have been mowing the grass and doing other things on the vacant property. When I call the city, they won't tell me how much is owed over the phone. Is there a way to find out without having to drive to the downtown office?
@Nancy DeVillez - what's causing you to look for this stuff yourself? You will need title and lien searches done as part of the closing process here in Georgia anyway. Let them figure it out for you.
There's also a website GSSC or something like that where you can see some of this stuff.
Lastly, even though you don't want to do it per your post, most of this stuff can actually be found down at the courthouse in the records room.
