I owe the State of Georgia tax money, once I pay it in full how long will it remain on public record?

Will it remain on your public record for 10 years? A little unsure of how this works. Thanks!

If it’s a matter of public record it will remain that way forever. However only property taxes are a matter of public record unless any tax liens were filed against your property for other tax debts.
If collection actions were instituted against you or tax liens were issued, those remain on your credit record for up to 10 years from the date of the last activity.
I don’t wish to alarm you, but the State of Georgia came knocking on my door looking for you.
Actually, I can think of no reason why owing this would remain on your record once you’ve paid it off. Once you pay the state, be sure to contact your credit bureau(s) and let them know that the matter has been resolved. They may require some documentation that this has been done, so be sure to ask the State about that as well.
Good luck, Nosy One. See you on the chain gang.
