A Florida judgment creditor can put a judgment lien on the judgment debtor's tangible personal property and some kinds of intangible personal property. Tangible property means things you can see and touch, like furniture, electronics, artwork, and jewelry.
Recording the judgment creates a lien on the debtor's real estate in that county. Without recording, the judgment is only a piece of paper and does not attach to any property.
The recorded judgment automatically attaches to all property in whatever county the judgment is recorded. The creditor would have to record the judgment in all 67 Florida counties separately to create a state-wide lien on the debtor's real property. Second, only “certified copies” of the judgment give rise to a lien.
