Comprehensive & Instant Lien Record Lookup
Lien Records
Liens are a common way for creditors to take and hold possession of property belonging to a debtor until the debt is paid. A lien title indicates that a creditor has the right to possess a debtor's property (for instance a vehicle as collateral) to collect what they are owed.
Federal Tax Liens
The government imposes federal tax liens for unpaid tax debts with the IRS, including property tax, income tax, and estate taxes. By attaching tax liens to a taxpayer's properties, the county government claims the right to secure the payment of outstanding tax obligations.
Property Tax Liens
A judgment lien arises when a court grants a creditor an interest in a debtor's property following a judicial verdict to secure a payment claim for an unpaid debt. A property lien search finds a property's history and all its relevant interests, liens or encumbrances.
State Tax Liens
The defendant voluntarily agrees to consent liens rather than the court having to enforce them. They arise when someone is sued for a debt they haven't paid back. The property involved secures the buyer's obligation to pay. Common examples include mortgages or security interests.
Mechanic's Lien
Mechanic's or contractor's liens arise when a mechanic works on a property without being paid. If the owner tries to sell the property, the lien acts like a security interest and gives the mechanic the right to claim from the proceeds, the amount they are owed for the unpaid work he or she completed.

Common Questions About Lien Records
How Do Liens Work?
For unpaid debts, creditors have the right to claim what they're owed by getting a lien on the debtor's assets. Liens make it harder to sell the affected properties, so they can be removed by paying off the debt, reaching a settlement, through a court order, lien avoidance or lien stripping.
What Are the Types of Liens?
Liens may be divided into three categories: consensual (purchase-money or non-purchase-money security liens), non-consensual or statutory (such as tax liens, mechanic's liens) and judgment liens (this is a court ruling against a debtor, frequently used in small claims courts).
How to Perform a Lien Record Check with InfoTracer?
If you wish to see the liens filed against a taxpayer's properties, you can run a federal tax lien search. A lien record check will reveal lien status, the property involved and its address, the property owner, court orders or debts that led to the lien, and other encumbrances or easements.
