Remove a Lien
The District is now providing an online form to remove liens against properties that have outstanding delinquent user fees for services that were provided from Vallejo Flood and Wastewater District prior to July 1, 2017.
Release of Utility Lien Document
A lien release is a type of legal document stating that the debtor has sufficiently paid off their debts and is no longer subject to a property lien. Release of lien forms are legal documents that are notarized.
Requesting a Release of Utility Lien Document
To obtain a lien release you must have sufficiently paid off the debt(s). The District will provide to you a lien release document upon request and verification that debt(s) have been received for lien placed against property. You must request lien releases to receive them. The District does not automatically send them. The District will release all liens fully collected on property taxes at no additional charge to the customer.
Removing a Lien from Property
Property lien removal process:
- Make sure the debt the lien represents is valid and satisfied/paid.
- Fill out a Request for Release of Utility Lien form (PDF) or complete the online Lien Release Request Form.
- Wait for our District to contact you for pick-up of Release of Utility Lien form. If you are an escrow company, you may attach a prepaid shipping label and the District will send you the Release of Utility Lien document. If you are a customer, please be sure to provide a contact number for the District to contact you when the Release of Utility Lien document(s) are ready for pick-up. You may also provide the District with a self-addressed envelope to send your release documents to you when prepared.
- Take the notarized Release of Lien document to the Solano County Assessor-Recorder's office for filing. (Please note that the District does not send the Release to the County.)
