What is a Tax Lien?

A Tax Lien is a government claim against an asset due to unpaid taxes. If the owner fails to settle, authorities may seize or auction the property.

  • Debt Recovery Tool: Used by authorities to collect unpaid dues.
  • Asset Restrictions: Owners cannot sell until cleared.
  • Auction Potential: Liens may be sold to investors.
  • Legal Implications: Can lead to forced asset liquidation.

Clearing a tax lien promptly prevents ownership complications and financial penalties.
