Municipal Lien Certificates

To request a Municipal Lien Certificate from the Town of Whately, please include the following information with your request:

Record Name of the Property Owner

Property Address

Parcel Identification - Correct Map & Parcel Number

If you do not know the parcel identification number, property Information is available at the Assessor's Online Database.

Requests should be sent to: Office of the Treasurer/Collector, 4 Sandy Lane, South Deerfield, MA 01373

You must also include with your request:

1) A check made payable to the Town of Whately in the amount of $25. 00 per parcel. (Please be aware that many residences are made up of two or more contiguous parcels. If the property owner receives more than one tax bill for the residence, then more than one Municipal Lien Certificate may be required.)

2) A stamped, self-addressed envelope

By Massachusetts law, we have 10 business days from the time the request is received in this office to generate the Municipal Lien Certificate. Every attempt is made to shorten that turnaround time, but particularly during vacation and holiday times, or other busy times of the year, it may take the entire 10 days allowed by law to process your request.

Please do not wat until the last minute to request your Municipal Lien Certificate.
