A payoff request allows a third party to receive the current balance due to release a lien or facilitate a business transfer (bulk sale transfer or liquor license). To release a lien or facilitate a bulk sale transfer, businesses must be in good standing to receive a payoff request.
For a Lien Released Manually If your lender does not participate in Ohio's Electronic Lien and Title Program, the lender will mark that the lien was discharged and mail the paper title to you. To remove the lien from BMV records: Take the title to any County Clerk of Courts Title Office.
Tax lien: The statute of limitations for a tax lien in Ohio is 15 years from the date the tax liability was assessed. This means that the government has 15 years to collect the taxes owed before the lien expires. Judgment lien: In Ohio, a judgment lien can be valid for up to 5 years.
To obtain more information about the lien, contact the Attorney General's Office. For business taxes call 1-888-246-0488. For individual taxes call 1-888-301-8885.
To attach the lien, the creditor files the judgment with the clerk of court of common pleas in any Ohio county where the debtor owns real estate (a home, land, etc.) now or may own real estate in the future.
11.0 HEARING AND SUBMISSION OF MOTIONS If the motion requires consideration of facts not appearing of record, the movant shall serve and file copies of all affidavits, depositions, photographs or documentary evidence which the movant desires to submit in support of the motion.
The first step is easy: contact the potential lien claimant and get all the information required to make a decision on how to move forward. Clearly, communication is key in resolving the issue presented by a notice of intent to lien.
