A property owner can choose to place a lien on their property. A voluntary lien is a claim over the property that a homeowner agrees to give to a creditor as security for the payment of a debt. A mortgage lien is the most common type of voluntary real estate lien, also called a deed of trust lien in some states.

A lien expires 10 years from the date of recording or filing, unless we extend it. If we extend the lien, we will send a new Notice of State Tax Lien and record or file it with the county recorder or California Secretary of State. We will not release expired liens.

If the lien is invalid or was obtained in a manner that doesn't follow the procedural requirements under the law, an attorney may be able to strip the lien from the property. Satisfy the debt. Negotiate a lower payoff. File for bankruptcy.
