IRS Property Seizures – What You Need to Know in Sacramento and California
If you’ve received notice that the IRS may seize your property, time is critical. An IRS seizure is one of the most serious enforcement actions the government can take to collect unpaid tax debt. It means the IRS can legally take and sell your assets—such as your home, vehicle, or business property—to satisfy what you owe.
For individuals and businesses in Sacramento and across California, an IRS seizure can be devastating. But the good news is that you may still have options to stop or reverse the action—if you act quickly and strategically.
At BackTaxesHelp.pro, we specialize in helping California taxpayers protect their assets and resolve their tax debt before it’s too late.
What Can the IRS Seize?
The IRS has broad authority when it comes to collecting unpaid taxes. They may seize:
- Homes and real estate
- Vehicles
- Bank accounts
- Business assets and equipment
- Accounts receivable or rental income
- Wages and retirement accounts (in conjunction with levies)
Before the IRS takes your property, they are required to issue a Final Notice of Intent to Levy and Your Right to a Hearing. If you ignore this notice, they can move forward with asset seizure—even without a court order.
How to Stop an IRS Seizure
Even if you’re facing a seizure notice, it may not be too late. Several options can help stop or avoid IRS property seizures:
- Installment Agreements – Set up a monthly payment plan to satisfy your debt
- Offer in Compromise (OIC) – Settle your tax liability for less than you owe
- Currently Not Collectible (CNC) Status – Temporarily suspend collections due to financial hardship
- Appeals and Due Process Hearings – Challenge the IRS’s actions through formal channels
- Emergency Relief Strategies – Immediate intervention may be possible in urgent cases
