FTB Lien Release

Service Overview

How a California State Tax Lien Works

When you owe the FTB and don’t resolve it, California can record a state tax lien with the county recorder and the Secretary of State, attaching to your real and personal property. Like a federal lien it clouds title and complicates selling or refinancing — but it’s a California lien with California’s release procedures, separate from any IRS lien.

Service Benefits

When the FTB Releases a Lien

The FTB releases its lien when the liability is paid or otherwise satisfied, when an accepted settlement is completed, or when the debt becomes legally unenforceable. As with the IRS, the practical problem is making sure the release is actually recorded where the lien was filed — an unrecorded release does nothing for your title.
