What can I do about weed liens filed by the City on someone else that owned the property?

30 YO weed liens? I doubt any title company would still consider them valid, but if so then contact the Beaumont City Attorney's office to obtain releases.

Liens on the property pass to new owners. I assume these are fines for high weeds? You will either need to pay them or seek a court order to release you from the obligation. Depending on the amount owed it may be easier to just pay them off.

The Title company involved is who contacted the City. Don't know exactly what to say to them but thank you for your answer. I'm praying for resolve.

The right title company (who wants to close the deal and receive a title premium or make a local REALTOR(R) happy) will handle this for you. Glad I could help. -s
