Wouldnt one want to object to the claim on the basis that it is not secured? Unless the county can point to some law that allows them to gain secured status on RP that was not the source of the property tax debt, they are merely unsecured and drop to the bottom of the priority pile. My knowledge of Ch 13 is limited, but my understanding is that if they are allowed secured status in the plan, they could get paid ahead of priority claims which might not be dischargeable.
If you have any questions or concerns, please contact me.

Sounds like san bernardino co. Is it? Sounds a little fishy, once property is sold, don't recall a statute that allows a lien filing. You will have to check the county statutes.
However, property taxes are
A personal liability, so if they can just file a lien, and skip suing, you cannot use 522f, as lien is statutory.

5/08 County records lien against any personal and real property for property taxes for 2004-2006 on property B
3/10 Debtor files Chapter 13. County files secured claim for 2004
Is the lien valid? If so can it be stripped from property A or does it trump property As 1st mortgage? Can it be stripped from personal property under 522(f)?
