Citizens Ask...

By Michelle Williams

Q: How does a DMV Stop work? A: DMV Stops can be placed on anyone who has taxes that are over 30 days delinquent. All parties that are listed on the title of the vehicle must be free and clear of delinquent taxes. If the tax bill that is delinquent has two names listed all back taxes on both names must be paid in full before the stop is released. Q: What is a Treasurer ’ s tax lien? A: Code section 58.1 - 3952 allows the Treasurer to issue a tax lien against the wages of taxpayers who owe taxes that are over 30 days delinquent. A Treasurer ’ s tax lien issued to an employer is not a garnishment. Treasurer ’ s tax liens request 100% of taxes owed to be taken from the employee ’ s paycheck. If the lien is for more than what the paycheck is, the employer is to take 100% of paycheck until the lien is satisfied.
