If you owed the taxes on a property you owned, then, I would think you are obliged to pay the tax. Just because they made a mistake doesn't relieve you of the tax liability. But, as far as putting a lien on your house in The Villages, that sounds like a premature threat. They would need to sue you, get a judgement, and then, if you don't pay the judgement, they can try to seize any assets you own as part of a collection process, to include a lien on your Villages house. But, if you really owe the tax, and they made an honest mistake, the best thing to do is to pay the tax.
