County opens bids for lien searches

During its meeting Monday, the Cape Girardeau County Commission opened bids for the company that looks up liens by computer or other methods on properties that are subject to the county's annual tax sale. Each year several properties owned by those not paying real estate taxes for at least two years are auctioned off inside the County Administrative Building.

The two companies that submitted bids Monday are Metro Title and Ward Title, both of Cape Girardeau.
