How can I avoid a real estate lien placed on my property?
Pay your real estate taxes on time. Real estate tax bills for property with an unpaid balance of any amount will have a lien placed on June 1, and that lien will be filed in the land records in the City Clerk's Office. This will become a permanent town record. Delinquent real estate taxes can be paid with a personal check but any liens involved will only be released after payment in full and 15 business days have passed.
