- Why do some searches take so long?
If a lien search exceeds the turn around
time that we have given you it might be due to the fact that many cities/counties don't have the proper staff to handle the volume of requests sent. Also, most cities/counties may have increased their turn around times due to the state of the real estate market and the numerous requests received. Also, most cities/counties may take longer on properties that might have violations/liens as they need to gather the most accurate and current information.
