Has the IRS filed a lien against your property? You’re not alone—and you do have options. At Polaris Tax & Accounting in Plantation, FL, we help Florida residents resolve tax debt issues and remove IRS tax liens that threaten your credit, home, or business.
What Is an IRS Tax Lien?
A federal tax lien is the government’s legal claim against your property when you fail to pay a tax debt. It can attach to:
- Your home or real estate
- Business assets
- Vehicles and personal property
- Future assets acquired while the lien is active
The lien becomes public record and can severely damage your credit, making it harder to refinance, sell, or borrow.
How IRS Liens Work in Florida
In Florida, a federal lien is filed with the local county clerk or public records. It affects:
- Real estate title transfers
- Business asset sales
- Credit reporting and loan approvals
Once filed, the IRS won’t remove it until the debt is satisfied—or a formal lien withdrawal, discharge, or subordination is approved.
Options for Removing or Avoiding a Tax Lien
- Full Payment – The most straightforward (but not always feasible) method.
- Lien Withdrawal – Removes the lien from public record if criteria are met.
- Lien Discharge – Releases the lien from specific property.
- Lien Subordination – Allows refinancing or other creditors to take priority.
- Fresh Start Program – Provides easier access to lien withdrawal for certain taxpayers.
