When the County is acquiring an interest in any parcel of land a title report is ordered to assess the condition of existing title. The title report will show the following information:

1. Owner
2. Encumbrances
3. Date
4. Legal Description

After reviewing the title report a Title Exception Investigation Report is prepared indicating those items that are of concern to the County. Any existing trust deeds must be subordinated to the County's interest to protect that interest in case of foreclosure.
