In Greenacres the City Clerk’s office runs the municipal lien search, pulling what it needs from the Finance and Building departments. One flat $90 fee, set by Resolution 2021-12, covers unpaid solid waste collection fees, code cases and open building permits, and the city says it answers within one to three business days. You also get one free update within 90 days, which helps if a closing date moves.
Code cases go to the city’s Code Compliance Division and, if not corrected, to a Special Magistrate. The city says the magistrate can fine up to $250 a day per violation, or $500 a day for a repeat violation, and can authorize liens and foreclosure. If you have a notice on the door, tell us early: a fine that is still running can be stopped or paid from the sale, but only once someone knows the number.
