Maitland, FL asked in Foreclosure, Real Estate Law and Tax Law for Florida

Q: Prop sold in foreclosure. warrantydeed 2013 had tax lien.How do I get tax lien to show satisfied?

I understand that to have clear title in Florida that title must be clear, which means no liens. So the buyer had to pay them.

The county records did not update sale. How do I get a satisfaction or at least get it removed from my credit report?

A: There is not enough information to answer why the county records did not update.

In terms of getting the tax lien removed from your credit report, that is likely not possible. Your credit report is a history of events (good and bad). Whether it gets shown as paid is a different thing since you did not pay it, the lien may still show on your credit report for the reason stated above.
