Sometimes the information available is minimal. It is up to the buyer to pursue other resources. Proceed to our property auction process page for additional information on the process. City and County engineering, building and codes, and planning departments are good places to get information. Some title companies will not provide title insurance for up to ten years from the date of sale.
Policies vary with each title company.
If you are planning to build, title insurance may be important to you. Assessments Many parcels have local improvements or special assessments for which payment will be due. Check to find what districts or associations service the parcel you are researching. Some assessments are collected by the Treasurer's Office and some are not. To avoid expensive surprises, become aware of these before the sale.
