Overview
PropLogix allows customers to order municipal lien searches, association estoppels, payoff tracking (release tracking), and surveys from within Resware. The search is conducted to determine whether there are any unrecorded special assessment liens or unrecorded liens arising by virtue of ordinances, unrecorded agreements as to impact and other developmental fees, unpaid waste fees payable to the county or municipality, unpaid service charges, or amounts due as a result of violations of county ordinances. This search will also aid title agents in removing the standard exception for special assessments, service charges, and waste fees from standard title insurance policies.

Provide this new password to PropLogix.
NOTE: It may be beneficial to set the expiration date of this password on the partner employee setup out for an extended period of time. Check with company-specific password security protocols to verify this will be acceptable or have a reminder in place to update this password as needed to ensure this integration’s service will not be interrupted.
NOTE: The Username and Password will need to be provided to PropLogix to ensure the documents are returned on the file’s Documents panel.
