Section 10-39-47 - Lien of tax--Recording--Release.
10-39-47. Lien of tax--Recording--Release. A tax due and unpaid under this chapter is a lien on all of the property of the taxpayer. The lien shall be perfected by the filing and recording of a notice of lien with the register of deeds in the county where the taxpayer resides or has property and shall thereafter constitute constructive notice to purchasers of the existence and superiority of the lien. The notice of lien shall contain the name of the tax debtor, the amount of taxes claimed to be due, and a description of the property against which the lien is claimed. The register of deeds of any county in which the lien is filed shall index the lien in the same form and manner and in the same book as provided for the indexing of income tax liens in chapter 10-43, except that the entry in the index shall show that the lien is a severance tax lien. On payment of the tax, the secretary of revenue and regulation shall release the lien.
