Request a Corporate Lien Certificate

You can request a corporate lien certificate online via mypath.pa.gov.

Overview

A corporate lien certificate from the Department of Revenue shows a corporation's tax debts. These debts are legal claims on the corporation's property. Thus, third parties need this information for transactions. However, this certificate does not replace a corporate tax clearance or a bulk sale clearance certificate.

The corporate lien certificate will certify settled corporate tax obligations owed to the Commonwealth. This lien certificate is restricted to settled deficiencies, no mention is made of credits, if any, that may be available in the tax account.

Fees

Each request for a Corporate Lien Certificate costs $2.00. You can pay by check or money order.

  • No need for overnight payments.
  • For multiple requests, combine the fees. For example, a $10.00 check covers 5 requests.
