Jon and Kate Gosselin aren't the only ones haggling over their property ... we've confirmed a tax lien was slapped on the happy couple's Pennsylvania homestead to the tune of $2,691.75.
It seems the Gosselins had a water problem -- specifically, an unpaid "water tapping fee" for the home they have in Lancaster County. The fee is for tapping into the city water line.
The lien is not on the new house -- it's on the old one they still own, according to myfoxphilly.com.

The IRS wants some serious "Girls Gone Wild" money, because they've filed a lien against Joe Francis for a whopping $33,819,087.14 ... this according to documents obtained by TMZ.
The Federal Tax Lien doc was filed today. The IRS claims Joe owes the money for 3 years of back taxes -- 2001, 2002 and 2003. In 2001, the IRS says Joe didn't pay $17,658,358. In 2002, the delinquency is $11,238,582.14, and in 2003, he owes $4,922,147.
It was less than 2 weeks ago that Joe got out of a sticky federal tax evasion case by copping a plea and avoiding prison.
Joe told TMZ, "I have no idea what it is." He says he does not owe the money and, "This is total retaliation for me beating them in court." Joe says the law the IRS is using hasn't been used against anyone in 20 years.
Joe says yesterday, the feds seized more than $100,000,000 in cash accounts of his.
Joe says the IRS is forcing him to file for personal bankruptcy, which he will do tomorrow.

Kelis isn't the only person trying to get money from Nas -- turns out Uncle Sam is too!
TMZ has obtained a federal tax lien filed last month against Nas for a whopping $2,584,206.31. Looks like Nas didn't pay his taxes in 2006 and 2007.
Nas is currently involved in a bitter divorce battle with Kelis. Looks like she'll have to wait in line.

Dustin Diamond needs to be saved by the bill, as in dollar, because he's been accused of owing the Department of Revenue some serious cash.
We got a hold of a tax lien filed in January in Ozaukee County, Wisconsin -- showing Screech owes $21,015.62 in unpaid taxes. An Ozaukee County court clerk told us as of two days ago, it still hasn't been paid.
We hear the t-shirt business is booming this time of year.

Nicolas Cage makes tons of money making movies, so why does he owe the state of Louisiana $6.2 million?
Cage was slapped with a federal tax lien last month. He owns a house there, which is currently on the market for $3.55 million.
If Nic takes that cash and gives it right over to Louisiana, he'll only owe another $2.65 mil -- but he'll still owe everyone that saw "Bangkok Dangerous" 99 minutes of their life back.
His rep had no comment.

The Accused: Sharon Osbourne
The Debt: $23,363.16
The Story: According to the State of California, Osbourne was fined nearly $50k for not paying her 2007 taxes -- a year in which she owed $436,026.
She eventually forked over a majority of the cash, but Arnold and Co. claim she's still on the hook for more than $23k.
Meanwhile, California is running a $24 billion deficit.
So, thanks Sharon.

The State of California might need to go medieval on Ving Rhames' ass.
Turns out Ving had a tax lien slapped on him last month by the state of California. Including penalties, interest and collection fees, Ving owes $191,828.71.
Ving might have an influx of cash coming in -- the house he owned where his caretaker died of a heart attack after being chased around by Ving's dogs is currently up for sale. It hasn't moved yet -- wonder why?

Billy Baldwin and his wife Chynna Phillips have dug a serious hole with the California Tax Board --as in they owe around $40k.
We've obtained a tax lien, filed last month, showing the couple owes The State $39,561.79 from 2007.
He ain't the only celebrity in the hole to CA -- Snoop owes $284k and Xzibit owes a more than half a mil.
No wonder California is broke!

Snoop Dogg may be the biggest rapper of all time -- you would think that means he's making the most money. So why, Mr. Snoop, are you in the hole to the state of California?
We've obtained a tax lien -- filed last month -- showing The Dogg owes the State $284,053.59.
By our calculations, that's about 190,000 joints.

TMZ has learned Xzibit owes at least $21,403.98 in back mortgage payments, and he's officially been warned by the bank that foreclosure is next.
But judging from the way Xzibit flashed his ridiculously expensive diamonds in Vegas Wednesday night, someone forgot to tell him about the house trouble -- and the more than $500,000 he also owes in back taxes.
X-to-the-Z rocked an iced out necklace and a really, really expensive watch to ROK nightclub -- where he partied like his name was Nero.
In addition to nearly losing his home in Woodland Hills, California -- it was reported last week that the IRS filed a $205,485 lien on X in L.A.County for non-payment of his 2007 taxes, and yet another one for an additional $296,355 for 2006.
Maybe that's why he was double fistin' the vodka ...

In today's economy, buying a tax lien off of a small Long Island town doesn't sound like the shrewdest of investments. But if that's your thing, perhaps you'd like to purchase Dina Lohan's?
According to a public notice that ran today in the Merrick Life newspaper, unless DiLo forks over the $11,485.74 she owes Nassau County in taxes by tomorrow, the tax lien placed against her home will go up for auction next week. Should you choose to purchase the lien, you can collect 10% interest on one of the most famous mothers in Hollywood.
Usually, it's her collecting the 10% ... off her kids.
