A tax lien is a legal claim a government places on real estate or other assets when the owner is past due on taxes. It can affect the owner’s credit score and ability to sell or refinance the property. Some municipalities may sell tax liens to investors who pay the tax bill in return for the right to collect the money and interest from property owners. This can be a risky but potentially profitable investment strategy.
