The Department of Taxation does not forward information to, nor receive information from the credit bureau. However, when an assessment is forwarded to the Attorney General's Office for collection, a judgment lien is filed with the county clerk of courts. This information is public record.
State Tax Liens To release a tax lien, the debtor must contact the Ohio Attorney General's Office of Collections and Enforcement to determine the exact amount of tax owed. Payment of the original tax must be remitted to the Ohio Department of Taxation.
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.
