Some municipalities have statutory rights to liens...such as real estate tax liens, etc. Abstractors are not that fortunate. They have to do it the old fashioned way and get a judgment from small claims court or the superior court.

In Connecticut each city and town maintains its own school didtrict. The school district is part of the municipality. If there is any money owing to the town...it has the right to lien property. We have personal property taxes here on our cars. If you do not pay it you can not get your car registered at motor vehicles. About two years ago the town started threatening to lien your property if it was not paid. Reminds me I have to pay mine tomorrow.
