Description of Issue

The current owner of a parcel is not printing on a municipal lien certificate (MLC). 



Context

  • MA Tax 

  • Municipal Lien Certificates (tmalienc) 

  • MLC



Cause

The owner selected when generating the MLC is the Owner of Record instead of the Current Owner or the current parcel has not been updated with the current owner. 



Resolution

  1. Navigate to the Municipal Lien Certificate program either by searching or using the following path: Property Revenues > Property Tax Billing > Northeast > Massachusetts > Collection Processing > Municipal Lien Certificate

  2. Click Define.  

  3. Make all usual selections and be sure to select Current Owner in Owner field. 

  4. Click Accept. 

  5. Generate the MLC (typically by clicking PDF, but printing method varies depending on what forms options are configured). 

  6. The current owner should print on the MLC. If it does not, then the current owner needs to be updated on the current parcel.
