if they are attempting to colledct a past due tax they will normally let you know by sending you certified letters.
to find out if they (or anyone else for that matter) placed a lien on your propery you can go to your local goverment office to check or you can call a title company (look in the yellow pages or call a local realtor for one) and ask them to do a lien search. most of the time they will charge you around $125.
if you are thinking of selling your house you can ask the realtor you are working with to get the lien search done and if they are a long standing relationship with a title company they wont usually charge.
good luck

The IRS will not always notify you. Check with your County Clerk's office. They can do a record's search and find out if there have been any liens filed against your property. If there is a lien, and you pay the taxes you owe, make sure to file a relase of lien so that it doesn't cause any problems down the road if you decide to sell your home. The IRS should send you the release of lien form, but it is up to you to record it with the county (in most states, this only costs about $9-$10).

The IRS should notify you of the possibilities that this could occur, though they are not obligated to do so. Your county records will have any recorded liens against your property. Some counties are accessible on-line but many you have to go to the county records department for them. There will likely be a small charge.
Any title search on your property includes this county search for liens, so if you are doing a refinance or sale of your property, it will come out in the title company search as well

call the county recorders office and ask someone to look for you. Or go to the court house and ask to see any recorded documents on your property.
IRS, will notify you in time, some time. In the meantime your mortgage holder, if you have one, is going to get pretty excited. Since a Fed. Tax Lien comes before the lender in order of payment if the court orders the home sold. So this plot thickens really quickly.
Best of luck,
