Certificate Releasing Tax Lien Connecticut Estate is a document issued by the Connecticut Department of Revenue Services (DRS) that releases a tax lien that was filed against a Connecticut Estate. This document is issued after the taxes due have been paid in full. There are two types of Certificate Releasing Tax Lien Connecticut Estate: General Release and Partial Release. The General Release is applied when all taxes and interest due have been paid in full, and it releases the entire lien. The Partial Release is issued when the taxes and interest due have been paid in part, and it releases the lien to the extent of the payment made. Both documents must be recorded in the Town Clerk's office for the lien to be validly released.
