Environmental Lien Search

A comprehensive search for environmental liens filed against properties.

An environmental lien is a charge, security, or encumbrance on a property title to secure payment of cost or debt arising from response actions, cleanup, or other remediation of hazardous substances or petroleum products.

Using our nationwide network of county-level abstract researchers, Banks can provide data for any environmental or property lien filed from 1985 to present.
