Lowell Deeds

The city of Lowell has a “Vacant and Foreclosing Property” Ordinance that requires the owner of a vacant or recently foreclosed property to register with the city’s Building Inspector. The city now has a registration form that must be submitted to the Inspectional Services Department at City Hall along with a $100 filing fee. The form asks for the address and description of the property , contact information (i.e., a 24-hour cell phone or pager) for the local property manager, and c0ntact information for the owner. The form also contains a certification that the property, if vacant has been boarded up and secured and that a notice containing the name and phone number of the local property manager will be posted in a prominent place on the building itself. We now have a supply of these forms at the registry and will be distributing them to everyone who records a foreclosure deed for property in Lowell.
