It is against both you personally as well as any assets you own. Once it is recorded in the land records it affects any real property you own.

How does one apply for the withdrawal of a Federal tax lien?

A federal tax lien is the government‰Ûªs legal claim against your property when you neglect or fail to pay a tax debt. The lien protects the government‰Ûªs interest in all your property, including real estate, personal property and financial assets. A federal tax lien exists after the IRS: Assesses your liability; Sends you a bill that explains how much you owe (Notice and Demand for Payment); and You neglect or refuse to fully pay the debt in time. The IRS files a public document, the Notice of Federal Tax Lien, to alert creditors that the government has a legal right to your property.


Does a federal tax lien have priority over state tax lien?

Not necessarily. The old adage of "first in time, first in line" comes into play. To expand, let me explain that, for example, at a real estate closing where both reps of the IRS and State are in attendance, this situation will be discussed by all concerned parties. Usually, it has been predetermined by the attorneys (and tax reps) who is getting what and why. Now, if we are talking about personal property, it doesn't really matter who filed first, but rather who executes first. The existence of a Federal Tax Lien or that of a State tax lien will not prevent either jurisdiction from taking action on personal property. As a matter of fact, the IRS doesn't even need a filed Federal Tax Lien to take action on most personal property, if not all personal property. A Lien arises (non filed) from the mere refusal/inability to pay federal taxes

Can a home owners association file a lien against your personal name or just your property?

Read your governing documents to determine whether you are personally liable for what you owe the association, or not. In any event, having a lien filed against the title for property you own will probably be noted on your credit reports, so you are implicated personally in that way when the lien is filed against the property.
