A lien is a claim that is usually recorded, against a piece of property or against an owner, in order to satisfy a debt or other obligation. The purpose of the lien is to enable the lienholder or creditor to institute an action to foreclose his lien. This means that the property can be sold by the creditor.
File the lien: A construction lien is typically filed with the county clerk in which the project is located. The paperwork and filing requirements vary by state, but will usually involve listing the work performed, the unpaid amount(s) at issue, as well as attaching copies of contracts and any required notices.
You can file your mechanics lien in person at the Franklin County Recorder's Office located at: 373 S. High St. 8 a.m – 5 p.m. (Office stops accepting documents for recording after p.m.)
A creditor can obtain a judgment lien by filing a certificate of judgment with the clerk of the court of common pleas in any county where the debtor owns or may own real property in the future. Real property includes land and fixtures on land such as a single-family home or condo.
Lien information can be found with the DMV and the vehicle history report. Department of Motor Vehicles: Using the vehicle identification number (VIN), you can check a vehicle's lien status at the Department of Motor Vehicles. In many places, you can conduct a lien search online using the DMV website.
The majority of liens expire within five years.
There are a few ways you can do this. Check with your state's transportation agency. Some state DMV websites allow you to complete online lien searches using the car's vehicle identification number, or VIN. If you have it, look at the car title. Get a vehicle history report.
