State and federal tax liens indicate someone or some
business who has not paid the State of Missouri or the IRS taxes
that have been assessed. The government in turn has placed a
lien on their assets.
These are often considered the first indication of a business
in trouble. If someone can't or won't pay the people who have
the power to throw them in jail, confiscate their property and
liquidate their assets, what are the chances they will pay you?
Follow up on these leads sooner rather than later.
A release indicates the lien has been lifted by the appropriate
governmental entity.
