Watch out for these

• Click the Doc Num to open a record. Clicking a name starts a new name search and you lose your results.
• The home page says each search returns up to 1000 records. Use shorter date ranges if you reach that.
• Most general liens we saw came from homeowner associations. Those are not city liens.
• The CITY OF filter also matched a name like SUN CITY. Read each row.
