Doral incorporated on January 28, 2003, and runs its own Code Compliance and Building departments. When you sell, a code violation lien search is requested from the city online, by folio number, and the city says it can take up to three business days. The letter covers City of Doral records only. It does not include liens, assessments or charges imposed by Miami-Dade County or other agencies, and the city says it is not a substitute for searching the county’s public records.
So a Doral sale needs three checks: the city letter for code liens, the county records for everything else, and the HOA estoppel for association balances. We line up all three before setting a closing date, so a county lien does not appear after you have agreed to a price.
