In accordance with Title 26 IRS Code, Section 6502(a)(1), IRS’ ability to collect any federal tax expires 10 years after it assesses the tax, unless it commences a lawsuit to collect the tax, obtains a favorable court judgment and periodically renews the judgment. The 10 year time period begins to run on the date IRS assesses the tax, not on the date it files a tax lien.

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. See similar questions...
