County Clerk Office- One-Stop-Shop for All Liens & Encumberences?

[James W.]

Is the County Clerk office really one-stop-shop for all kinds of all possible liens and encumberances? Does everything record with them?

I'm talking water, sewer, back taxes, past condo fees, property tax liens, other kinds of possible liens? Municipaity liens?

And yes - and number of open loans?

Basically - can I be sure and confident - that they've covered everything when they give me the report on a property?

If they are - I prefer to call them up once a month with a few properties, or even go in personally.

The real question is are they really all encompassing?

PS - I am talkig about Hudson County - does anyone have experience with it? I havent found their online database either.
