1. In addition to any other remedy provided for in this chapter, the State Controller
may, within 4 years after the date that a debt becomes due, record a certificate of
liability in the office of a county recorder which states: (a) The amount of the debt, together with any interest or penalties due thereon; (b) The name and address of the debtor, as the name and address of the debtor appear
on the records of the State Controller; (c) That the State Controller has complied with all procedures required by law for
determining the amount of the debt; and (d) That the State Controller has notified the debtor in accordance with subsection
2. 2. The State Controller shall, not less than 15 days before the date on which he or
she intends to file the certificate, notify the debtor of the State Controller's intention
to file the certificate. The notification must be sent by certified mail to the last known address of the
debtor and must include the name of the agency to which the debt is owed, the amount
sought to be recovered and the date on which the certificate will be filed with the
county recorder. 3. From the time of the recording of the certificate, the amount of the debt, including
interest which accrues on the debt after the recording of the certificate, constitutes
a lien upon all real and personal property situated in the county in which the certificate
was recorded that is owned by the debtor or acquired by the debtor afterwards and
before the lien expires. The lien has the force, effect and priority of a judgment lien on all real and personal
property situated in the county in which the certificate was recorded and continues
for 4 years after the date of recording unless sooner released or otherwise discharged. 4. Within 4 years after the date of the recording of the certificate or within 4 years
after the date of the last extension of the lien pursuant to this subsection, the
lien may be extended by recording a new certificate in the office of the county recorder. From the date of recording, the lien is extended for 4 years to all real and personal
property situated in the county that is owned by the debtor or acquired by the debtor
afterwards, unless the lien is sooner released or otherwise discharged.
