I need to clarify my question!?
Answer:
The title companies pay tens of thousands of dollars per month per county for these services. Do you think they'd do that if there was a reliable free service?
Depending upon the tax lien, your property may still have all of the loans and other liens against it still there after you buy it.
This takes research. The cheapest place to do it is at the county records office. But the title companies also will do it for you free, if you're going to buy a policy of title insurance.
It also takes a consultation with an attorney so you're reasonably well protected against all the stuff that can go on.
If it was cheap and easy, everybody would do it. It takes money to lay the groundwork for this.
As I answered in your other question, the county appraiser for the area you are looking at does not list properties on their website, you will need to go to their offices and research public records.
How much is still owed has no bearing on a sales transaction, just make an offer and secure your own financing.
If you go to zillow.com you should be able to get the last sale amount on a property. This will give you a good idea of the loan amount. There are not too many people that pay cash for homes so the loan amount should be similar to the last sale price.
