Why is a Department of Justice Notice of Lien showing up on my title report?

United States Attorney's Office - Western District of Washin...
Whenever a judgment is entered in U.S. District Court, it acts as a lien against property. In cases where a debtor owes any amount of restitution and/or a fine and special assessment equaling more than $500.00, our office files a lien in the debtor's county of residence, and any other county where real property might be found. A judgment debtor may have lived at your property at the time a judgment was entered against the debtor.

I paid off a Federal Income Tax Lien but it is still showing on my credit report. Why?

Wisconsin Register of Deeds Association - Frequently Asked Q...
While Federal Income Tax Liens are recorded in the Register of Deeds office we have no jurisdiction over the lien itself or any release documentation once the lien is satisfied. We cannot record a Release unless one is presented to us for recording. The IRS changed their procedures several years ago and now consider their liens to be "self releasing" after a certain number of years. As a result they do not record Release of Lien documents as they used to do.
