A few weeks ago I wrote about a Department of Revenue proposal to establish a separate index for child support and tax liens. Under this scenario, DOR would maintain the index and, no matter where in the state your property was located, you would have to check this lien index to be sure you had clear title. Today I joined some folks from the Secretary of State's office in a meeting with DOR officials about this proposal. The meeting was very productive. We agreed to work with DOR to find a way for them to record their liens within the traditional registry system in a fast, efficient manner. If successful, that will avoid the need for a separate index which would be good news for anyone doing business at the registry of deeds.
