Explanation:

Lien refers to a security interest which is granted on a property. It can be defined as a right to retain the property until the amount of the debt is payed.

There are two types of liens: voluntary, also called consensual and involuntary, also called non-consensual

Tax liens are an example on non-consensual or involuntary liens that are imposed by the law to secure the payment of taxes.

Involuntary general tax liens are the liens imposed by law due to the failure to pay income taxes.
