The City of Naples Finance Department has partnered with Orange Lien Data (previously called FRS Data, LLC) to process estoppel searches/requests (or lien requests) from title companies, closing agents and others obtaining information about outstanding debt owed to the City.

If you have an account with FRS Data you DO NOT need to create an account with Orange Lien Data.  Your account information will remain the same and all of your orders will be available.  The only change will be the name of the company and the email addresses.

All lien requests/estoppel requests will be directed to Orange Lien Data at https://order.orangelien.com.

In the City of Naples, unpaid utility bills are considered a lien on the property. Other city-related liens include Special Assessments (sanitary sewer, canal dredging, etc.), Code Enforcement fines, and false alarm fines. To ensure a clear title upon transfer of ownership of a property, a lien must be paid prior to the transfer. Orange Lien Data will only report on liens issued by the City of Naples. A full search should still be made by the title company or real estate attorney.

There will be a fee of $12.50 for each request.

It is the responsibility of property owners to restore sod and clean the public sidewalk in the public right-of-way fronting their property. A permit will not be required for simple re-sodding and restoration related to Hurricane Ian damage. Sod placement shall not be located within the cross-section of any drainage swale. Major improvements, including the installation of new irrigation, landscape, and swale restoration are subject to the requirements outlined in the Right-of-Way Construction Standards Handbook and will require a Right-of-Way permit. If there is no curb along the fronting roadway, a swale is necessary and shall be re-established with proper grades if sand has infiltrated it. Please note, prior to digging, residents/contractors must call 811. 

An unpaid utility bill is considered a lien. In order to know if a lien exists, an estoppel should be performed. In order to transfer the utility account into the buyer/new owner’s name without any service interruption, we have to have an Application for Services, the closing document, and a zero balance on the seller’s account (estoppel paid). Additional fees for services continue to be billed to the seller until the account transfer is completed.
