FAQ
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.
Judgments have expiration dates. If they are not timely renewed, they expire. In CA that is 10 years. However, when a judgment lien has been recorded against your property, it has no expiration date.
Illinois law governs the enforcement and resurrection of judgments. Under Illinois law, judgments have an enforcement time limit of seven years from the date of their entry.
Illinois law governs the time limit for enforcing judgment and states “no judgment shall be enforced after the expiration of 7 years from the time the same is rendered.”1 The same statute allows the 7-year limitation period to be extended “upon the revival of the judgment by a proceeding.”
The statute of limitations is two years from the recording date of the lien. Sanitary District Lien (70 ILCS 3010/17) Charges or rates for sanitary district services shall be a lien on the real estate for which sewerage service is supplied. There is no statute of limitations.
How does a creditor go about getting a judgment lien in Illinois? To attach a lien, if the debtor's property is located in the same county where the judgment was entered, the creditor files the judgment with the county recorder.
Enforcement proceedings (also known as collection actions) to collect judgments are governed primarily by 735 ILCS 5/2-1402. This statute provides three main tools for enforcing and collecting judgments: (1) the Citation to Discover Assets; (2) wage garnishment proceedings; and (3) non-wage garnishment proceedings.
In Illinois, a judgment from an Illinois state court, or a federal court located in Illinois, becomes a lien on real property only after a transcript, certified copy, or memorandum of the judgment is recorded at the office of the county recorder in the county where the property is located.
To be able to put a lien, you need to sue on the debt, get a judgment and then record the judgment in the county where the property is located. The recorded judgment is a lien on the property!
