Probably because the Recorder might just know something the County judge apparently doesn’t, that he has no authority over a Federal Lien. And why should the Recorder be involved at all, in a personal capacity, when they do not personally exist in that transaction. As a rule a Recorder makes no determination as to validity of a document, their purpose is to record documents, and unless there is something patently wrong with a document, there is very little reason they would refuse one, unless for statutory reasons.
As to the Federal Lien, the only ones who can legally remove it are either the party that entered it, in this case the IRS, or a Federal Judge can order it removed/voided, but that is it. A state judge has no authority to do so. Also, any interference with that lien by an outside party could at the very least constitute the filing of a false document, a Federal offense, and probably a state one as well, and with interfering in a collection proceeding, again a Federal crime. Filing a UCC-3 is a real good way to find oneself on the road to an extensive education in the Federal Judicial and Correction systems.
