A lien is a legal claim for
the satisfaction of some debt or duty, a right in one to control or hold
and retain the property of another until some claim of the former is
satisfied.
If it is a Judgment Lien or a
State Tax Lien it is in our office.
You need to bring in the Lien Release and the release fee (which we can
tell you if you have the Lien number). Federal Tax Liens &
Mechanics Liens are at the Recorders office.

We do not
maintain a list of foreclosures; you may visit the Civil Division of the
Erie County Jail and ask for the "media room". There you will find a
list of upcoming Sheriff Sales, which will be more beneficial to you
than just looking for foreclosures that have been filed. Sheriff
Sales are also available online.
No, you will
need to fill out an application and on the opposite side, on the bottom
half, have it notarized and brought back to the Clerk's Office to be
submitted to the Judge for signature. After the Judge signs the
application, send it to Columbus
along with $15.00. Once you receive your Notary Commission back from the
state, it needs to be filed with the Clerk's Office. If your signature
is notarized before bringing in to file, the fee is $5.00. If your
signature is not notarized, it will be $6.00. Applications
can also be obtained online.
You apply in
the county you live in.
We are not
attorneys; therefore we cannot advise you or tell you how to prepare
your paperwork for filing. We do have Domestic Rules available in our
office for $15.00; there are some forms in the back of the rules.
No, we do
not keep national records, only records filed in our court.
However, this information may be available for public access at
other Clerk of Courts websites.
