The lender will require that the lien be paid off with proceeds from the refi if the refi is approved.

No. A lien encumbers the property and it cannot be sold nor refinanced without being satisfied or settled before any other financial transaction occurs.

A lien may stop a refinancing of your home. The lender may allow the loan to proceed and require that the lien be paid off from the proceeds of the loan. Or, in addition to paying off the lien, it may also cause an increase in the interest rate of the loan as well.

If you have a lien placed on your house does this mean you can't refinance your mortgage OR buy a new home until that lien is removed?

The lien doesn't usually affect after-acquired property unless it's an income tax lien. You cannot mortgage, refinance or sell the property against which the lien was recorded. That is exactly the purpose of recording a lien in the land records.


What happens after a lien is filed on your home?

You will be notified of the lien/debt. In order to clear the home title (i.e.- for sale, or refinance, etc) the lien/debt will have to be satisfied. Depending upon the size of the lien and the circumstances, the lien holder may be able to force a sale of the property in order to collect the debt. It also depends on the lien holder's position. Priority is given to a tax lien, then the 1st mortgage, 2nd, etc.

How does a IRS tax lien affect you if you want to refinance a home and the tax lien is 17 years old?

An IRS tax lien typically expires after ten years. The problem with this is that there are two types of IRS liens. The more common type is called a "self-releasing" lien.If you are able to obtain a copy of the lien itself, you want to check to see if it says something along the lines of "this lien expires on SOME DATE unless refiled". If it says that, you have a self-releasing lien.The problem with this is that the credit bureaus do not seem to understand the concept of the self-releasing lien. They simply watch the public records to see if the IRS has reported the lien as being released, and if the IRS has not done so they assume the lien is still in force.A lender will typically want a tax lien released or subordinated to the new lender if you are trying to refinance the home. You can contact the the IRS Lien Unit at 1-800-913-6050 and ask them if they show any liens on file. If they say no, tell them that there is an old tax lien that is still showing up on your credit report and they should be able to fax you a formal Release of Lien and also mail one to your County Clerk and Recorder.If the lien is actually still in force (which is unlikely, given that the IRS Statute of Limitations to collect a debt is 10 years) then you will need to get a Certificate of Subordination before you can close on the loan.
