How do I request public records? You may contact the Office of the City Clerk in person, by phone or in writing and request specific documents. If you have an extensive or complicated records request, it is helpful to send a written request. All public records requests that are estimated to cost over $20.00 to produce will require a deposit for the entire estimated amount.
What do I need in order to perform a lien search? To perform a lien search, download and complete a copy of the Lien Inquiry Form, then mail the completed form to the Office of the City Clerk along with a check for $25.00. Within seven to ten days you will receive the following information: any special assessments placed on the property; payment amounts due to close public service accounts; and code enforcement citations and liens that may be on the property. Each address/account requires a $25 fee payment. Lien searches are valid for up to 30 days.
