A. At any time, the director may release all or any portion of the property subject to the lien from the lien or subordinate the lien to other liens if the director determines that the taxes are sufficiently secured by a lien on other property of the taxpayer or that the release or subordination of the lien will not endanger or jeopardize the collection of the taxes.
