The first place to search for a tax lien in California is the clerk-recorder's office in the county where a taxpayer resides or where a property is physically located.
California state tax liens are recorded at the request of various governmental agencies. For questions about a state tax lien, contact the appropriate agency directly: Board of Equalization (916) 445-1122
To get a payoff letter, ask your lender for an official payoff statement. Call or write to customer service or make the request online. While logged into your account, look for options to request or calculate a payoff amount, and provide details such as your desired payoff date.
The state tax lien attaches to all property and rights to property, belonging to the taxpayer and located in the State of California (Gov. Code section 7170(a)). A state tax lien continues in effect for ten years from the date of its creation unless it is released or discharged.
If the piece of property you're looking to buy is in a county that doesn't have an online database, you can always call the county's Treasurer's office and give them the parcel number. They will be able to look up any back taxes and tax liens for you.
