Municipal Claims & Tax Certification Letters

Municipal Claims Letter & Tax Certification Letter

Municipal claims letters and tax certification letters are issued to disclose that there are no municipal liens or claims against a property unless something of record has been found. Prior to issuing municipal claims letters and/or tax certification letters, all accounts with the municipality will be researched for compliance with municipal regulations and to verify that payments are up to date.  A municipal claims letter and/or tax certification letter will not be issued until the property owners have complied with the information and/or payment requests of the municipality.
