Municipal Lien Certificate

A Municipal Lien Certificate (MLC) is a legal document usually requested for property transfers and refinances. Request forms for MLCs can be found here and submitted to the Treasurer's office in writing along with a $50.00 fee per parcel. This document is recorded at the Essex County Registry of Deeds in Salem, Massachusetts. It may list any outstanding property taxes and utilities at the time of request. It also contains record owner, property, location, value assessment, land area and book and page of recorded deed.
