@Rene BrodowskyIn May of this year, new federal FinCEN regulations went into affect requiring banks to get a certificate from each beneficial owner for new accounts for legal entities. 

I don't have it broken down by month, but I can give a break down of how many certificates paid off from past years and an average amount of the certificate by year.This is for certificates paid off only in 2014:2009 had 1 certificate paid off in the amount of $56,033.572010 had 565 certificates that were paid off with an average amount of $8,874.402011 had 644 certificates paid off with an average amount of $5,708.102012 had 2416 certificates paid off with an average amount of $5,705.362013 had 241 certificates paid off with an average amount of $4,242.69Each county will be different since real estate values will vary by location and total tax amounts.

I would ask for estoppel certificates.

The filing of the affidavit provided in Subsection D of this Section with the recorder of mortgages of the parish in which the property is located shall operate as a cancellation, termination, release, or erasure of record of all statutory impositions due and owing to the political subdivision prior to the recordation of the tax sale certificate, and of all interests, liens, mortgages, privileges, and other encumbrances recorded against the property and listed in the affidavit.

Your profile says you are in Olney....Olney has a lot of houses built before 1979...if that is the case, did you have your lead inspection and receive your lead certificate?

This usually works best if you have documentation to support either the replacement of carpet prior to the most recent tenant or certification from your carpet cleaning company that there was no pet damage evident prior to possession by the resident in question. 

I have undergraduate degrees in Mechanical Engineering, Manufacturing Engineering, Technical Management and a Graduate Certificate in Program Management and a Masters in Organizational leadership.

A "Lead Safe" certificate will not even slow down a lead paint law suit.

You are correct, no one ever mentioned anything about a lead Certification. 

(New Jersey has a lot of crappy laws about getting new house inspections and certificates of occupancy “between tenants”).
