Do you know if State tax (Ohio) liens survive foreclosure?

[Troy Brown]

In this case the foreclosing mortgage was originated in 2014 and the the certified judgements were from later years, so the mortgage was filed prior to the tax lien.  I just found out about this and the title company I use is closed on Saturday.  A google search didn't help much.  Thanks!

I know it would be extinguished if it were a mechanics lien, medical bill, etc because it was filed after the mortgage and is therefore subordinate, but I don't know about state income tax liens.

I can't speak specific to Ohio, but in NJ, tax liens, regardless of when filed always take first position lien.  The tax lien would have to be paid off.  Sounds like someone didn't check with the governing authority.
