Please see the attached reports for delinquent taxes, liens and code violations.

We do not maintain a registry of vacant/abandoned properties.

Water is a private utility.

Once I receive the fire damage reports from our two fire departments, I will forward them to you.

Thanks,
Greg..

Peter,

Tried opening it myself and had the same issue. I reached out to the Fire Chief and requested him to resend it to me in a format that we can open. I will let you know when I hear back from him.

Thanks,
