A tax lien is imposed by law on property to secure the payment of taxes. They may be imposed on real or personal property for delinquent taxes and/or the failure to pay any sort of taxes on the property or even income taxes. As opposed to personal debts, tax liens on St. Mary Parish LA Real Estate do what is called ‘running with the land,’ this means that a property owner becomes responsible for payment even if the tax obligation was incurred by a prior owner. Various states have different laws regarding this matter but depending on the law of jurisdiction, the owner of the property may be held personally liable for the payment of all relevant taxes. Payment of a tax lien may be made directly by the property owner, or in some cases may be paid indirectly by the mortgage holder. Notice is always given to both the property owner as well the mortgage holder when a property tax is delinquent so all parties involved are kept ‘in the know’ regarding the tax situation.
