FAQ
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.
And some states also allow judgment liens on the debtor's personal property -- things like jewelry, art, antiques, and other valuables. In Ohio, a judgment lien can be attached to real estate only (such as a house, land, or similar property interest).

This means that although Ohio's statute of limitations for judgment enforcement is at least fifteen years, in reality the best practice is to act at least once every five years so that your judgment does not become dormant. Often judgments are against more than one judgment debtor.
Ohio's statute of limitations is six years no matter the type of debt. And the six years is counted from the date a debt became overdue or when you last made a payment, whichever was more recent. If the timeframe is more than six years, a creditor cannot sue to collect the debt.
If an execution sale does not take place within a period of five years (where the plaintiff is someone other than the state) or between 10 and 15 years where the plaintiff is the state, the underlying judgment becomes dormant.
The Judgment Creditor (the person who has the judgment) may file a motion to revive the judgment any time within ten (10) years after the judgment becomes dormant. If the court grants the motion the judgment is revived and the Judgment Creditor can take steps to collect the judgment.
