One lien notice as the Division holds it

The lookup returns what the Florida Division of Corporations holds for one federal tax lien notice: its status, the filing, assessment, expiration and cancellation dates, the debtors and the secured parties, usually the Internal Revenue Service, each with an address and a status, and every event filed against it, oldest first, with the date each was filed and recorded. A certificate of release is one of those events: when it is on record, the lien shows as released with the release date. The document number is two digits for the year, FLR and seven digits; find it with the federal lien search. A notice records a claim as filed, not the amount owed today.

  • Status and dates

    Active, released or inactive, with the filing, assessment, expiration and release dates.

  • Debtors and secured parties

    Each party named on the notice, with the address and whether it is still current.

  • Every event

    Each filing made against the lien, oldest first, the certificate of release included.

Common questions

From the Florida Division of Corporations, which registers federal tax lien notices and their releases and publishes them for anyone to use. Croma keeps an organized copy, brings it up to date every day, and returns it structured, free and with no account. There is only a cap on searches per hour from the same connection.

The number the Florida Division of Corporations assigns when a notice is filed: two digits for the year, the letters FLR and seven digits, e.g. 12FLR0012345. It stays with the notice and every event filed against it, release included.

Released means a certificate of release was filed for the lien, and the release date is shown. Active means the Division still lists the notice and no release was filed. Inactive means the Division no longer lists it and no release is on record, for example after the filing lapsed.

Because the Division has no lien under it. Check the digits and the letters FLR: the federal lien search by debtor or secured party name is the easiest way to find the right number. A filing made in the last day may not have reached the copy yet; it arrives with the next daily update.
