In the case of taxes, yes the Treasurer’s Lien may still attach to residual funds that are not being deducted from your garnishment. In Virginia, taxes are subject to a 100% levy rate, although not all localities will deduct at a 100% rate. Non-tax obligations...
If a Lien has been received, you will not be allowed to set up a payment plan until we determine if the lien source is active. This will allow us to better craft a payment plan that suits the given situation.
If you are being liened , you are not able to pay your account to release the lien. The funds will need to be paid by the employer or banking institution in which the lien was issued.
Liens are issued under the authority of Virginia Code § 58.1-3952 which permits a locality to collect by means of a third-party lien without an underlying court action.
