A person can avoid paying a civil judgment with their earnings if they qualify as the head of household. The Florida statute defines earnings as wages, salary, commission, or bonus. Other types of earnings for labor have been held to also qualify for the head of household exemption.
Florida Statute 55.081 states that a judgment is enforceable for 20 years. A judgment does not have to be recorded to be valid. Even without recording, a creditor can garnish bank accounts, levy personal property, and pursue other collection actions during the 20-year life of the judgment.
Satisfy the Judgment: Paying the debt in full is the most straightforward way to remove the lien. Obtain a satisfaction of judgment from the creditor and file it with the court.
Online via an Official Records portal: Most Florida circuit clerk offices provide an Official Records Search portal on their websites, which interested persons can access to find liens on a property, including tax liens registered by taxing authorities.
Contractors, labors, material suppliers, subcontractors and professionals such as architects, landscape architect, interior designers, engineers or land surveyors all have the right to file a claim of lien for work or materials. Always get a release of lien from anyone who works on your home.

An involuntary lien can occur without your knowledge, depending on the circumstances. A creditor often places a judgment lien after suing you and winning the case.
Although you can file a lien without first giving notice to the owner, the Florida notice to owner rules requires that you give notice within 15 days after filing with the county recorder.
You can obtain a judgment lien on the judgment debtor's real property by recording a certified copy of your judgment in the real estate records in the county in which the property is located. Such liens are not recorded with the Department of State.
