Yes. A lien must be paid off before a property can be sold or mortgaged. In the case of a sale, the buyer's attorney will make certain the lien is paid from the proceeds of the sale before the buyer takes title.

How can you get pre approved with a tax lien in your credit report?

There are different types of tax liens (IRS, county, state). I'll assume you have an IRS lien. A lien against your residence will prevent you from refinancing the existing home unless you get the IRS to approve a subordination. This means they agree to allow a mortgage company to take a priority position on the title of the home, in front of the tax lien. If you do not own a home, or are referring to a purchase, and the tax lien is against all your personal property, the lender will likely require that it be paid or otherwise satisfied. Before the credit and housing crash it was difficult to obtain financing with a lien against your property (think about a mortgage company considering loaning on a home that they have reason to know may have a lien placed against it by the IRS once you own it) but now it would be far more difficult with the pull back in underwriting requirements.
