A Florida judgment lien on property expires 10 years after a certified copy of the judgment is recorded in the county where the property is located.
Renewing or Reviving a Judgment A Florida judgment lien on property expires 10 years after a certified copy of the judgment is recorded in the county where the property is located.
The renewal of judgment will last another ten (10) years, but can be renewed again after five (5) years. Once a judgment has been renewed, it cannot be renewed again until at least 5 years later. The wise judgment creditor will make sure it is renewed at least every 10 years or it will expire.
The lien is good for 10 years, but the creditor can renew the judgment before it expires for another 10 years, meaning the lien will survive for a maximum of 20 years. The good news is that because of Florida's homestead protections, a judgment lien cannot attach to homestead property.
To attach a lien, the creditor must record the judgment with the county recorder in any Florida county where the debtor owns real estate now or may own real estate in future. For liens on personal property, the creditor files the judgment with the Florida Department of State.
You must submit the paper title. Your customer should sign a completed form HSMV 82139 Notice of Lien. Submit the completed form HSMV 82139 Notice of Lien, the paper title and a check (see fees) to the Tax Collector's office. The lien will be added to show you as lien holder.
You can obtain a judgment lien on all of the judgment debtor's personal property located anywhere in the state by filing a Judgment Lien Certificate with the Department of State. To get the proper form you must go on the internet to the Department's website: .sunbiz.
