Request a Lien and/or Mowing Fee Payoff
A lien on your property may exist if charges or fines owed to the City remain unpaid, such as weedy lot charges, demolition fees,
or any other service done by the Development Services Department. When a lien is issued, the City has a financial claim on your property.
Liens affect your ability to sell your property and must be paid in full before ownership of the property can be transferred.
Most liens accrue interest over time.
To request and receive a payoff document created by City Staff, email your request to
[email protected].
It may take up to five business days to receive your payoff document.
Pay a lien or mowing charge
You can mail a check/money order or drop off your payment at our secure drop box to the City of Pharr Code Compliance Division.
