## What do you think? Question:

I own a unit in a 182 unit condo in Florida. The State of Florida has![liens](https://www.condoassociation.com/hs-fs/file-13172989-jpg/images/liens-resized-600.jpg?width=169&height=112&name=liens-resized-600.jpg) a [tax lien](http://www.irs.gov/businesses/small/article/0,,id=108339,00.html) of $11,000 on the [Condo Association](https://www.condoassociation.com/CondoAssociation/tabid/83434/Default.aspx) and the IRS is going to [lien](https://www.condoassociation.com/blog/tabid/19257/Default.aspx?Tag=Liens) for in excess of $98,000.  The Condo Association does not have the money to pay the back taxes and penalties and interest. What happens to the owners in this situation?
