County putting liens on all homes in a subdivision?
Posted on March 6th, 2010 by admin
We are a 44 lot subdivision. 43 Homes and 1 lot not able to be built on due to wetlands. We were assessed for a drain and the cost divided amongst the homes. the one lot, realty developer lot, did not pay his assessment, and after 3 years of accumulating fines and interest, was turned over to the county and a lien was placed on our homes because he would not pay the $23.00 assessment. Is this legal? We found this out when a home was sold and the closing was cancelled due to the lien that was put on the home and the only way for them to close was to pay off the who lien of over $500.
Not normal. Would depend a great deal on how the drain assessment was run and what else transpired.
have a lawyer review it; but if they cancelled a real estate closing over it; it’s probably legit.

IDK, but I’d pay it to closed and sue the one that should of paid it in civil court.

your answer lies in the law in your state. use google to try and find it, then — if you’re still upset, complain loud and long to the county commission. at the very least, your commissioner should spend the time to explain to you.
