Arizona Revised Statutes Title 28. Transportation § 28-2137. Restitution lien; removal

Current as of January 01, 2025 | Updated by Findlaw Staff

A. Notwithstanding § 28-2132, after a hearing, the director may remove a restitution lien filed pursuant to § 13-805 or 13-806 from a vehicle record if the director finds both of the following:

1. A person purchased the vehicle without any knowledge that the vehicle was subject to a filed restitution lien.

2. The person who sold the vehicle is an obligor under a filed restitution lien and sold the vehicle without disclosing to the purchaser that the vehicle was subject to a filed restitution lien.

B. If a restitution lien is removed as prescribed in subsection A of this section, the department shall place a code on the obligor's record that automatically restores the restitution lien on any vehicle that is subsequently issued a certificate of title or registered, or both, by the obligor.

C. If the lien, or any portion of the lien, was the result of an order to pay restitution, the party for whom restitution was ordered shall be provided with notice of any hearing held pursuant to this section and an opportunity to appear. The department shall provide notice of the hearing to the governmental agency that requested the lien be placed on the obligor's record. The governmental agency that requested the lien shall promptly provide notice to any party for whom restitution was ordered.
