Sara-Jane,

A federal tax lien is only a Notice of Federal Tax Lien and is never a vaild lien. This does not matter as the county recorders in most cases file it as a real lien. Here is Florida Contest of Liens have been filed to challenge the Notice of Liens, which gives the IRS 45 days to file suit to enforce it. When this is not done the counties should remove the liens for failure to prosecute, but do not stating the lien must remain until a release of lien is issued. This is crap, but this is what the counties do here. If you have a contest of lien procedure where you are you may want to try it and see what happens.
