Go to a title (usually title & escrow) company and have a Title search run.

All liens that are on a property will be recorded. The records are at the county level. County courthouse or the county recorder's office is the place.
Though you can literally walk in and check the records many people contact a title company instead. They have a copy of the records and will be able to tell you what is listed against a property. Note there is a bit of a time lag so something that was recorded in the last week or last few weeks might not show up in the title company records.
If you need to know and are willing to pay the title company will issue an insurance policy that as of a specific date their reports shows all that is recorded against the property. Such a policy is mostly used when someone is transferring title or when a new loan is being put in place.
Note that some counties do have their records online. Check to see how complete the online version is before depending on the facility.

Call up a title company and tell tehm you are going to put your house on the market and would like to use them as your title/escrow company, and ask for a preliminary title report. If they think that they are going to get business from you they should do it for free. :-). Trick of the trade.
