Only the following document types are affected: Death Certificate, Judgment, Lien, Lis Pendens, Notice Extending Time to File a Lien, Partial Release, Partial Release of Federal Tax Lien, Release, Release Lien State, Release of Bond, Release of Federal Tax Lien, Release of Lien, Satisfaction of Judgment, Tax Lien, Tax Lien Federal, and Tax Lien State. Indexing is still available.
