When a creditor wins a judgment in court against a debtor, the court will issue a judgment lien that can be recorded in the land records against the debtor's real property. Once the lien is recorded the property cannot be refinanced or sold until the lien is paid. In the case of multiple liens, they get paid off in the order by which they were recorded. That is important when there is limited equity in the property. The senior lien gets paid first. Junior lienors are often out of luck. Therefore it is important to record a lien as soon as it is issued by the court.
There are other types of liens such as tax liens, mortgages, liens for municipal services and installation of equipment and betterment liens by towns for installation of betterments such as sewer lines, roads and sidewalks.

I have a tax lien with the recorders office and it is not through the IRS how do I find out what this is?
The purpose of recording the lien is to give legal notice to the world that someone has rights/claim against the property...thate person claiming those rights is always identified...or there wouldn't be any reason to do it. The recorders office, and the recordation of the lien, says who. If it isn't the IRS it's likely the State or your local county.
Tax Lien priority in foreclosure?
Well it depends on what type of Tax lien we are talking about. But first rule of thumb, liens have priority based on Irs Tax liens are prioritized like most other liens, by date of recordation. Actually IRS liens can fall further down the list based on when perfected.....but all in all, IRS tax liens do not supercede other legal liens State Tax Liens can superced tax liens depending upon State laws but stilll are subordinate to all other previously filed legal liens. Property Tax liens take priority over all liens, regardless or recordation, perfection, etc. Think of it this way, when you buy property, property taxes are an inherent obligation that attaches as soon as the ink on the deed is dry. There's no attorney on earth that can record a mortgage lien that fast!
