Florida Real Estate Practice Exam

Which option describes a real property tax lien?

1. General and involuntary

2. General and voluntary

3. Specific and involuntary

4. Specific and voluntary

The correct answer is: Specific and involuntary

A real property tax lien is a lien placed on a specific property to secure payment of taxes owed on that property. This fits the description of being specific, as it is tied to a specific property and does not apply to all properties. It is also involuntary, meaning it is imposed by law without the property owner's consent. Option A is incorrect because it is general, meaning it applies to all property and is not specific to one particular property. Option B is incorrect because it suggests that the property owner willingly chose to place a lien on their property, which is not the case with real property tax liens. Option D is incorrect because it implies that the lien is voluntarily placed by the property owner, when in reality it is imposed by the government.
