Specifically, let's say a property owner has not paid their bill in over a year. Their services have been shut off, yet they still do not repay or respond to attempts to contact them. In such a case, could the municipality file a property lien, or are they not qualified? My understanding is if they cannot file a lien, the accumulated charges remain with the property. If it were ever sold, those charges would have to be settled before the property transfer could occur. Thank you for your time! Mark
