If there is an existing lien on your property you can transfer the property to a new owner but the land is still subject to the lien. The new owner would have to pay the lien. Take care if the lien is a mortgage. In most cases the transfer of a property encumbered by a mortgage will trigger an immediate demand to pay off the mortgage. A property tax lien for delinquent taxes gives the town legal title to the property. You should also make sure your grantee is aware of the lien as it may have a detrimental affect on their use, enjoyment or continued possession of the property. Especially if a title examination will not be performed.

No. The purpose of a lien is to make you pay your debt. The lien must be paid before you can sell or mortgage your property.
