If the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) has placed a tax lien on your property, once you've satisfied the debt, the IRS should notify you that the lien has been removed. To do so, the IRS should send you a “Certificate of Release of Federal Tax Lien,” also known as Form 668(Z).
When all the liabilities shown on the Notice of Federal Tax Lien are satisfied, the IRS will issue a Certificate of Release of Federal Tax Lien for filing in the same location where the notice of lien was filed. If the IRS has not released the lien within 30 days, you can ask for a certificate of release.
Once the lien has been satisfied, the lienholder sends the RMV an electronic message to release the title. The RMV then prints and mails the title to the vehicle owner, or a third party if one has been designated by the lienholder.
