Tax Liens on County Owned Property

[Jenna Pedersen]

I'm looking at purchasing some properties that are currently county owned. I'm just getting into real estate investing so I have a few questions. I have already determined market value, but now I'm trying to determine if there are any additional liens on the property. The most common thing I'm seeing are liens for maintenance or mowing by the city. Does that mean I would need to pay that off once we purchase the property? Any advice would be appreciated! This is my first foray into real estate and it is a bit overwhelming!
