Tax liens can be risky for many reasons. They are attractive because they can offer high rates of return but investors need to be aware that they are also very risky. Your responsibilities as a tax lien holder vary from state to state so a lot of research may be required. Tax liens also expire so you have to stay on top of managing them. After you acquire a tax lien you may need to pay the property taxes so that no-one else can acquire it moving forward.

Tax liens, especially real estate tax liens, take priority. Other liens, such as judgment liens, take a back seat.

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

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!
