This seems to be prevalent with some mls realtors in this area. I purchased a home in May of this year, the bond was stated as paid off by 3 different realtors and the homeowner. When I got my tax notice there is still some owed. Of course the previous owner has moved to another state and the realtors are doing a fantastic job of saying "not my job" regarding whose responsibility it is to verify the bond is paid. If this is not resolved I will be supplying names as this seems to be more common than I thought. I contacted vcdd and they have a specific form to get the payoff and they told me the ONLY folks that can get this are realtors and homeowner of record from their office. There was absolutely no mention of a outstanding payoff at closing and yes "my bad" for not reading and clarifying every document before signing. Trust but verify.
