Uniform Federal Lien Registration Act

The Uniform Federal Lien Registration Act governs the filing of notices of federal liens, including federal tax liens, and of the certificates that release, refile, or otherwise affect them. It specifies where each notice must be filed, how notices and certificates must be executed, what methods of communication may be used to transmit them, and what fees may be charged, and it sets out the recordkeeping duties of the offices that receive them, principally the secretary of state. It also addresses the treatment of liens filed under the state's prior filing system and directs that the act be applied and construed uniformly with the versions in force in other adopting states.
