The short answer

What does a property lien search show?

A Property Lien Report, at $95, shows the open mortgages and deeds of trust recorded against a property in any U.S. county. For each loan you see the lien position, recording date, lender, borrower names, loan type, and loan term, plus assignments, releases, and subordinations, foreclosure status, the last market transfer, and assessor tax installment status where reported.

It is a property-based report. Liens filed against an owner by name, such as federal or state tax liens, court judgments, and bankruptcies, are not part of this report.

Frequently asked

16 questions about property lien searches

What do I get in a $95 property lien search?

A Property Lien Report, at $95, shows the open mortgages and deeds of trust recorded against a property, with lien position, recording date, lender, borrower names, loan type, and loan term, plus assignments, releases, subordinations, foreclosure status, the last market transfer, and assessor tax installment status where reported.

How much does a property lien search cost?

The Property Lien Report is $95 in every county. The Full Owner and Lien Report is $175, and the Expanded Title Search starts at $375, with the exact price depending on the county you select on the order form.

Can you run a lien search on property in any state?

Yes. The Property Lien Report is available for property in any county in any U.S. state at the same $95 price. County-priced reports, such as the Expanded Title Search, are offered only in counties where records can be searched online.

How fast will I receive my lien report?

Lien reports are emailed as a PDF, typically the same business day for orders placed by 4:30 p.m. Pacific, Monday through Friday, once payment and the property details are received.

Does the lien report include tax liens or judgments against the owner?

No. The Property Lien Report is a property-based report of the mortgages and deeds of trust recorded against the parcel. Federal or state tax liens, court judgments, and bankruptcies filed against an owner by name are not included. For a name search, order the Expanded Title Search, from $375.

Can I get HOA liens with my lien search?

Yes, as a separate report. The HOA Lien and Contact Report, at $95, shows recorded HOA lien activity plus the association name, fees, and managing agency contact where available.

Can I see unpaid property taxes in the lien report?

Yes. The lien report shows assessor tax installments paid or delinquent where reported. For full tax status, order the Property Tax Status Report for $65, or choose the Expanded Title Search, which includes property tax status.

Will the report show which loan is in first position?

Yes. Lien position is the order in which recorded loans are ranked against a property, such as a first or second mortgage. The report shows position as reported in the property records. How priority affects your situation is a question for a title company or attorney.

Can I search for liens by address?

Yes. Select the state and county on the order form and enter the property address, or the assessor parcel number if you have it, so the correct parcel is identified.

The report shows a loan I already paid off. What now?

A paid-off loan still appears when a release or reconveyance was never recorded. The lender or loan servicer is usually responsible for recording it. For California property with a private lender, TruPoint prepares a substitution of trustee and full reconveyance for $500.

Can I use a lien search instead of title insurance?

No. Every TruPoint report is an uninsured compilation of property records. It is not title insurance or a preliminary title report, and no one insures or guarantees title based on it. For insured title, a title company issues a policy.

I am a private lender. Can I order lien searches before funding?

Yes. Private lenders, investors, and wholesalers often order a lien search before funding a loan or making an offer. Professionals who order regularly can apply for a partner account and save up to 15 percent on report prices.

Can I run a lien search before bidding at a foreclosure auction?

Yes. Auction buyers often order one, because the report shows recorded mortgages and foreclosure status before they bid. It does not include liens or judgments filed against the owner by name, so ask a title company or attorney about those and about lien priority.

Should I order the Lien Report or the Full Owner and Lien Report?

The Property Lien Report, at $95, covers recorded mortgages and foreclosure status. The Full Owner and Lien Report, at $175, adds the Property and Vesting Profile, with the owner of record, vesting, legal description, and 1 copy of the current vesting deed.

Can a lien search guarantee there are no other liens?

No. A lien report is a compilation of recorded and indexed property records, not a certified search. Records not yet recorded or indexed, and liens filed against an owner by name, may not appear, so the absence of a lien is not a guarantee.

How do I order a property lien search?

On the order page, tap the Property Lien Report, select the property state and county, enter the property details, review and sign the agreement, and pay by card through Square. Your PDF is emailed to you, typically the same business day.
