FAQ
For the most part, whether a lien is a "property lien" or a "judgment lien" depends on how the creditor got the lien. Creditors typically acquire property liens through your voluntary consent. On the other hand, creditors get judgment liens after winning a lawsuit against you for a debt you owe.
A creditor who obtains a judgment against you is the "judgment creditor." You are the "judgment debtor" in the case. A judgment lasts for 12 years and the plaintiff can renew the judgment for another 12 years.
To establish a lien, a contractor or subcontractor must file a petition in the circuit court for the county where the property is located within 180 days after completing work on the property or providing materials. It can be difficult to determine the work completion date. Notice For Subcontractors.
Of the three types of liens (consensual, statutory, and judgment), the judgment lien is the most dangerous form, but one which the informed business owner may be able to eliminate. A judicial lien is created when a court grants a creditor an interest in the debtor's property, after a court judgment.
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. This means that it is possible to no longer have a judgment against you, but still have a judgment lien on your property.
While credit card companies technically have the ability to pursue your home for unpaid debt, it's rare. A debt collector must go to court and get a judgment before it can place a lien on your home. There are limits and exemptions to how much of your home's equity a debt collector can claim.
How do I find a lien? Liens against property can be recorded at the Department of Land Records alongside deeds. Search for liens online using Maryland Land Records (mdlandrec). Some liens come from court judgments. Unpaid taxes on the property may result in a lien.
