What is a Lien?
A lien is a legal claim by a creditor that secures the creditor's interest in a property. Many times a release is granted before the lien is published. Filing of a lien does not represent in any way a decision from the court or win by the creditor.

State Tax Liens
When a person, corporation, or other taxpaying entity defaults on the payment of taxes, the state may place a lien on the property of the taxpayer in order to secure it's interests. The taxes may be paid after the forced sale of the property, or by any other means; thus, a state tax lien does not necessarily mean that the property will be sold at auction.
