(a) Before any State funds are paid for an approved project, the Department shall cause a notice of the State’s right of recovery to be recorded in the land records of the county in which the property is located. (b) The recording of the notice: (1) does not create a lien against the property; but (2) constitutes notice to any potential transferee, potential creditor, or other interested person that the State may obtain a lien under this subtitle.
