Best Answer

Tax liens, especially real estate tax liens, take priority. Other liens, such as judgment liens, take a back seat. A property tax taking is often for much less than the property value, and if the debtor does not redeem the property by paying the tax due, the tax sale buyer gets a huge bonus.

The other liens, including mortgages, go away, but the debtor still owes the money.

Can Foreclosure wipe out a secondary judgment lien on the property?

A foreclosure wipes out any liens that were recorded subsequent to the mortgage. However, the lender must give notice to the IRS if a tax lien has been recorded against the property.

What happens if a tax lien is attached to a property that goes into foreclosure does the tax lien get paid off by the lender?

Not really. It gets paid by the proceeds of the one buying the property at the foreclosure auction. It gets paid before the lender. So less is available to pay the lender...and if enough to pay the loan isn't received by the lender from the sale and payment of other liens, the borrower is till iable for the amount remaining. Other assets, garnishments, liens, etc may be used to collect that "deficit" in the future.
