Liens

A lien is a legal claim used to secure a debt and may attach to real or personal property. A state tax lien (also called a state tax execution) is recorded with one or more clerks of court to make it public record and secure the debt.

Once a lien balance becomes due and is in the collection process, the Louisiana Department of Revenue may file a lien without notice at any time if it is in the State’s best interest.

If you need a lien payoff, complete Form R-19023 and email it to [email protected].
