A search of environmental liens is necessary to determine any debts attached to the title of a property or debts that had previously been attached. Additionally, a search for Activity and Use Limitations (AULs) is necessary to find requirements mandated by an authority or agency on the allowable or prohibited uses or activities associated with a property. A search of environmental liens and AULs is necessary to meet the requirements of the EPA’s “All Appropriate Inquiry” (AAI) and the ASTM E1527-13 standard.
The Environmental Lien & AUL report provides national coverage drawing from a network of abstractors in every local jurisdiction.
