Section 10-39A-17 - Lien of tax--Filing and recording--Indexing.
10-39A-17. Lien of tax--Filing and recording--Indexing. A tax due and unpaid under this chapter is a lien upon all the property of the taxpayer against whom the taxes are assessed. A lien is perfected by the filing and recording of a notice of lien with the register of deeds of the county where the taxpayer resides or has property and constitutes constructive notice to purchasers of the existence and superiority of the lien. A 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 the county in which such a 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. Upon payment of the tax, the secretary shall release the lien.
