A lien is a cloud on a title, to be released once the\nhomeowner completes repayment to a creditor. A levy is a legal seizure of the\nproperty. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Here\u2019s how they work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Judgement Liens<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The term <a href=\"https:\/\/www.etymonline.com\/word\/lien\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\" (opens in a new tab)\">lien<\/a>, meaning the right to hold an interest in someone else\u2019s property until a debt is repaid, comes from the Latin\u00a0<em>ligament<\/em>,\u00a0meaning <em>bond or tie<\/em>. \u00a0While the homeowner receives a notice of a lien, the lien attaches to the property itself. It stays with the property, not its owner; but in reality, homeowners pay off their debts so they can sell homes with marketable titles, or to be approved for refinancing. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A mortgage or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.deeds.com\/articles\/what-is-a-deed-of-trust\/\">deed of trust<\/a>\nis a common example of a lien \u2014 a consensual lien. The homeowner agrees to it,\nthrough a loan contract. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A <em>judgment lien<\/em>, in contrast, is court-ordered. Courts\norder payments to people in cases involving debts, damages, or obligations \u2014\nfor example, to award spousal or child support after divorce. A judgment lien is\ncertified in the courthouse, and submitted to the county recorder of deeds. The\nlien can apply to<em> any<\/em> of the debtor\u2019s real estate, anywhere in the\ncounty \u2014 even property acquired later. Plus, the creditor can have a copy\nrecorded in multiple counties, to potentially attach to more property. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Check the state-specific judgment lien law for information\nabout how liens are attached, when and for how long they can be renewed, and when\nthey expire. &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Levies<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A <a href=\"https:\/\/www.etymonline.com\/word\/levy\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\" (opens in a new tab)\">levy<\/a> is the seizure or sale of the property to pay a debt. The term means to <em>raise<\/em> or <em>collect<\/em>, and originates in the word<em> lev\u00e9e <\/em>\u2014 French\u00a0for <em>raising.<\/em>\u00a0It\u2019s based on a judgment lien, but it takes the key extra step of taking the property over. Levies stay on a property even if it is transferred to another person or a living trust. They cannot, however, attach to future properties the debtor may buy. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A creditor <em>executes<\/em> the judgment by using a <em>writ\nof execution<\/em> and having the debtor&#8217;s property sold through a county\nsheriff&#8217;s sale. The steps involve: <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hallcounty.org\/219\/Real-Property-Levy\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\" (opens in a new tab)\">written request to the civil division of the county sheriff&#8217;s office<\/a>, accompanied by the complete legal property description that appears on the deed, and the county fees, which can run upwards of $1,500. <\/li><li>Proof of current ownership: a certified copy of the home\u2019s warranty deed or quitclaim. <\/li><li>Any mortgages must be paid off and released. <\/li><li>An attorney should certify the property\u2019s title certificate. <\/li><li>The description is entered onto the sheriff\u2019s sale schedule.<\/li><li>A plainly visible copy of the court order and schedule are posted the physical property.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Charlotte County Sherriff\u2019s Office [<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ccso.org\/PublicInterest\/PDF\/RealPropertyLevyRequirements.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\" (opens in a new tab)\">PDF<\/a>] lists further requirements for real estate levies, which include, among other items:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>An original writ of execution, which the court clerk\nmust sign and seal. <\/li><li>The final judgment, recorded in the county. <\/li><li>A judgment lien certificate issued by the state.<\/li><li>All required notarized affidavits, including for\nany assignment of the judgment.<\/li><li>An affidavit that the county tax records show\nthe property is not shielded by homestead status from forced sale. <\/li><li>Proof and affidavit of the levying party\u2019s identity.\n<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">All included documentation must\nmatch the judgment. The party who requests the levy is responsible for paying\nthe fees, doing all the research, and submitting all required paperwork.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Tax-Related Liens and Levies<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Internal Revenue Service can impose a federal lien and even carry out a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.irs.gov\/businesses\/small-businesses-self-employed\/whats-the-difference-between-a-levy-and-a-lien\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\" (opens in a new tab)\">levy<\/a> of a taxpayer\u2019s property to recoup the revenue it\u2019s owed. Here again, a lien puts a cloud on title to secure debt, and a levy legally takes\u00a0the property to satisfy the tax debt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It starts, of course, when the owner doesn\u2019t pay a tax bill. The IRS then notifies the owner of the balance, and warns of a possible Notice of Federal Tax Lien. Each lien document may list up to 15 tax debts [<a href=\"https:\/\/www.irs.gov\/pub\/irs-pdf\/p1468.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\" (opens in a new tab)\">Internal Revenue Service PDF<\/a>]. The homeowner may appeal, as the notice explains. If the IRS does issue a lien, it will attach to any property, owned or later acquired. As a federal tax debt, it may even survive a bankruptcy filing. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Remember that neglected tax liens can turn into levies. After the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.irs.gov\/businesses\/small-businesses-self-employed\/what-happens-after-my-property-is-seized-and-how-do-i-get-it-back\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\" (opens in a new tab)\">IRS seizes a house<\/a> it will sell it, subtract administrative costs, and apply the net proceeds to the overdue taxes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Generally, the IRS uses lien and levy notices not to take\npeople\u2019s properties, but to get taxpayers to pick up the phone and work out\npayment arrangements. Concerned you might have a lien from the IRS, or your\nstate or local government? Check with the relevant tax office, or the recorder\nof deeds in which your home exists.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Getting Judgment Liens Resolved<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The debtor has a creditor file a release of the lien in the\ncounty where the lien was recorded, after:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>The debtor pays off the debt.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>The debtor challenges the lien and obtains a court-ordered\ndischarge.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>The debtor proves the lien was wrongly attached. (Using Michigan state law as an example, a homeowner may need to use the formal <a href=\"http:\/\/www.legislature.mi.gov\/(S(jvfyblg3umeifthlkokl4ofa))\/mileg.aspx?page=GetObject&amp;objectname=mcl-600-2815\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\" (opens in a new tab)\">provision to cancel a lien<\/a> which results from mistaken identity.)<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When the debtor wants to sell the house, the entire lien must be resolved \u2014 or at least the homeowner should use the sale proceeds to obtain a partial release that\u2019s enough free up the real estate being sold. The seller should offer accurate, full, and timely disclosure to the creditor on the home price and available equity. If the seller can pay off the whole judgment, the creditor must discharge the full lien promptly, or owe penalties. Meanwhile, the seller may file an affidavit and evidence of payment to the title company so the home sale can move on. Be sure the release is signed by the creditor (or a representative) and recorded.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Getting Tax Liens Released <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The earlier a debtor calls the IRS (at 1-800-913-6050), the better. There are usually payment arrangements available to avert a lien or levy. If the lien already exists, the sooner it\u2019s paid, the better. The debt itself must be paid, and so must the penalty, interest, and any additional charges, including the fees for the county recorder\u2019s office that releases the lien. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Once it\u2019s paid off,\nthe government will release the lien within 30 days.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ten years after the\ntax was assessed, the federal lien expires automatically, unless the IRS\nrefiles the lien.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Protections for Homeowners<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Levies are hard to place on homes, as they should be. They can\nbe obstructed by some hefty bureaucratic provisions:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Homestead status.<\/strong> If the state has a\nhomestead exemption, any creditor who seeks to foreclose on someone\u2019s primary\nresidence must pay the homeowner an amount from the sale proceeds. This occurs\nso homeowners don\u2019t lose all of their home equity. &nbsp;<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Tenancies by the entirety.<\/strong> If a marital home\nis <a href=\"https:\/\/www.deeds.com\/articles\/hows-your-property-vested-it-matters-as-much-as-your-will-or-trust\/\">vested\nas tenants by the entirety<\/a>, liens aren\u2019t allowed \u2014 unless the judgment\nis against both&nbsp;co-owners.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Administration and sale costs.<\/strong>\nForeclosure sales require published notice and the sheriff\u2019s fees to host the\nsale. The creditor needs to pay the title company, the appraiser, and the recorder\nof deeds.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After the creditor jumps through the official hoops, the\ndebtor might be able to scuttle the sale by filing for bankruptcy. State law varies,\nand in some places may give debtors time to redeem judicially foreclosed houses\nfor the amount the buyer paid plus interest.&nbsp;In those states, a certificate\nof redemption voids the sale to the new buyer. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Each Situation Has a Unique Set of Facts <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To learn more about dealing with notices of liens or levies, consider talking to your tax expert, a\u00a0real estate attorney, or a legal aid nonprofit focused on housing or tax issues in your area. The best combination of responses will be unique to each homeowner. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-small-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">Photo credit: <a href=\"https:\/\/unsplash.com\/photos\/irJMm9UXmbU\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\" (opens in a new tab)\">Morning Brew<\/a>, via Unsplash. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What is the difference between a lien and a levy on someone\u2019s property?
