When a certain property has the opportunity to benefit from a public project, the municipality may levy charges against the property. These charges are known as special assessment tax liens. Public governing bodies typically levy special assessments for projects like infrastructure improvements, but homeowner's associations and other private organizations can also charge special assessment fees.
While some counties may list special assessments on the non-ad valorem tax line of a property's bill, it is not a universal practice. If your county has levied special assessment tax liens on a property you want to purchase and didn't include it on any bills, you may not know there is an outstanding charge on the property. This is where Florida Lien Search can help.
