Lien Release

Removing a Tax Lien from Your Property and Credit

A federal or state tax lien is a legal claim against your property, filed as a matter of public record, that can make it difficult to sell or refinance real estate, obtain new credit, or maintain business relationships. Once the underlying tax debt is resolved, the lien doesn’t always disappear automatically; a formal release, or in some cases a withdrawal, has to be requested.

Mitchell St. Louis, P.A. works to secure lien releases once a debt is resolved, and in qualifying situations, pursues lien withdrawal so the filing is treated as though it never existed on your record.

What we handle:

Requesting a lien release once the underlying tax debt is satisfied
Pursuing lien withdrawal for qualifying taxpayers
Negotiating lien subordination to allow refinancing or a sale to proceed
Disputing liens filed in error or without proper notice
Coordinating lien resolution with a payment plan or Offer in Compromise

Why it matters:

A lien that isn’t formally released can continue to show up on credit and title reports even after the debt is paid, creating problems long after the underlying issue is resolved. Making sure the paperwork is filed correctly protects your credit going forward.
