BACKGROUND:

In 1988 the Legislature enacted the Uniform Federal Lien Registration Act.  Notices of federal liens, certificates, and other notices affecting federal tax liens or other federal liens are covered by this act.

Notices of federal liens, certificates and notices affecting federal liens upon real property must be recorded in the county where the property is located.

Notices of federal liens, certificates and notices affecting liens upon personal property, whether tangible or intangible, must be recorded as follows:  (1) liens against corporations or partnerships whose principal executive office is in Washington must be filed with the Department of Licensing; (2) in all other cases liens must be filed in the county of residence of the person against whom the lien applies.

Security interests on personal property arising under state laws are filed with the Department of Licensing rather than with county auditors.

SUMMARY:

All notices of federal liens on personal property are to be filed with the Department of Licensing.
