Background:  In 1988, the Legislature enacted the Uniform Federal Lien Registration Act.  The act governs notices affecting federal tax liens and other federal liens.  Notices of federal liens upon real property must be recorded in the county where the real property is located.  The act does not require that a copy of the lien document be sent to the property owner.

Summary:  A federal lien recorded against real property may be recorded only upon certification that a copy of the lien document has been sent by registered or certified mail to the owner of the real property subject to the lien.
