How long does a lien stay on a car title in Georgia?

A lien or security interest release is not required: If recorded on the title for four years from the title's issue date for a vehicle that is 12 model years old or older.

Is there a minimum amount to file a lien?

In general, no such minimums exist. While this is the general rule, it is important to consult each state's laws to verify that it doesn't have an odd-ball rule restricting small value liens. In theory, therefore, you could file a mechanics lien in almost every state claiming as little as a single dollar.
