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.

A judgment lien on real estate remains in effect for five years. You may not be able to collect a judgment right away through a judgment lien on real estate, but it will ensure that the property cannot be sold or refinanced within the next five years without dealing with your lien.
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.
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.
Upon timely filing of a notice of continuation of lien, the effectiveness of the original lien is continued for fifteen years after the last date on which the lien was effective, whereupon it lapses, unless another notice of continuation of lien is filed prior to the lapse.
