You can try contacting the creditor to determine if it will accept a lesser amount if the debt is paid off immediately. You need written proof of their agreement to settle and you need to obtain a valid release of the lien. The creditor may need to send the judgment lien back to the court with a notation the debt has been satisfied in full and then the court will issue a release. You cannot negotiate a real estate property tax lien. That must be paid in full by law. You may be able to negotiate a state or federal income tax lien.

Those negotiations are best handled by a skilled attorney who can act as an intermediary so that you have proof of the agreement and obtain a valid release to clear the title to the real estate.
