NORTH CAROLINA A judgment is a lien on real property for ten years from the entry date. N.C. Gen. Stat. § 1-234.
How long is a judgment enforceable in NC? A judgment expires after 10 years in NC, but can be renewed one (1) time.
In North Carolina, a judgment (and the lien on real property created by the judgment) expire ten years from the date of the judgment. The statutes provide that no execution may be issued after the judgment, and its corresponding lien, expire.
If that judgment is obtained, the defendant may receive a “Notice of Right to Designate Exemptions,” which begins the process of attempting to collect the judgment against you. You may be able to fight a default judgement if you move quickly.
A judgment will be effective for 10 years after rendered by the court and may be renewed.
