Re: State tax lien
A lien for unpaid taxes, except for inheritance taxes, expires when the tax collector deems it unenforceable because suit was not brought within 7 years to collect it, or otherwise because the tax collector deems the tax to be uncollectible. For inheritance taxes, the lien arises on the date the estate proceeds are distributed and continues for 4 years. There are a couple of special circumstances where the rules are different.
