How is a tax levy different from a lien on your home?

Levy is by a county or municipality for taxes owed. A lien is for money owed on a home or money borrowed against the home. If you owe back taxes, then IRS or State taxing authorities may file a notice of lien and a notice of levy, but they are totally different. Tax levy is much more serious and usually a levy is the last tool that the IRS will use to collect the tax debt. When IRS puts a lien on your home, they are doing this to assure they will get paid if you sell it. Having a tax lien will affluence your credit rating; you may not get a new credit card or sign a new lease because liens are public record. If you get a levy on your home, it means the IRS is taking action to collect the debt.
