Has a Tax Lien Been Filed Against You?
A Tax Lien is a serious matter.
A Tax Lien is a public record that indicates you owe taxes. A Tax Lien is filed with the county clerk where you operate your business or where you live. A Tax Lien can make purchasing and selling property difficult, if not impossible.
If you wish to buy property, a Tax Lien will lower your credit rating. A Tax Lien can prevent you from getting a loan to buy a car, house, or anything else requiring credit. A Tax Lien appears to lenders that you are more of a risk.
If you wish to sell property, a Tax Lien attaches to your personal property and real estate, making the transfer of clear title impossible without satisfaction of the Tax Lien.
You Have Options.
Depending on your unique situation, a Tax Lien can be released, subordinated, removed, or discharged without full payment of the underlying tax. Some reasons for relief include (1) successfully challenging the accuracy of the underlying tax, (2) uncovering procedural defects in the filing of the Tax Lien, (3) establishing alternative methods of repayment, and (4) making partial payment to allow you to get a new loan.
