Is there a statute of limitations on tax liens?
Go to your local courthouse and get a copy of the lien. Look from left to right in the columns of the lien. In the next to last column, reading left to right, at the top will say “Last date for refiling.” If the date in that column has passed, your tax lien has expired by reason of the statute of limitations running out. When you get the copy of the lien and the date has passed, you should send a copy of the lien to the three major credit reporting agencies and tell them to mark their files accordingly and that the lien has been satisfied. On the back of the lien, there is a code section that tells you that it is a self-releasing document.
