Tax lien and registering my new car.

Bought a new car last month, have until end of this month to get it registered. Just got an email today from Indiana stating they placed a tax lien on my car. Just some quick research says I won’t be able to register my car until it’s paid off, but does that apply to renewing registration, or first time registration too? I didn’t even know I owed anything since I got a refund last year, just a little nervous.
