@Brandon BlackfinThe Department of Veterans Affairs have a program similar to section 8.

I think I need to upgrade in the friendship department.

Whose authority will be higher: county tax roll or city building department?

You are often not likely to get the 30 day notice (and may not get the 2 months rent) but if you do have this clause in the lease that your tenant has signed and you find a replacement tenant the day after they move out, in Georgia you do not have to return any of this money to the departing tenant.It's not worked EVERY time with us but it has worked, especially with those who fear an eviction (and I WILL file for such in these type of cases) on their credit history.Gail

I am looking at a piece of property that has a tower directly adjacent to our town fire department.

Took a good two months to get control of the property and it also had many building department liens on it as well which they paid for in order to give you clean title. 

This 30% is why it's best to avoid department store cards.

If you don't get a proper acknowledgement that  you are  not responsible, then follow-up with a written letter to the proper department, send it certified so you have proof, that states you did not own the home after x date so please contact the  new owners.     

Go to the planning department and find out what the code is for a rental egress.

Sometimes it is based upon the amount owed.You might find out more helpful information from the people at the sheriff department than all those books, because they deal with it every day and are familiar with local regulations and procedures.
