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.
But a judgment from an Ohio court is valid for 5 years, and then becomes dormant unless revived, giving creditors the ability to collect on judgments for much longer. Section 2325.18(B) sets Ohio's statute of limitations for judgment enforcement at fifteen years.
What Do You Do When There Is A Judgment Lien On Your Property, But The Judgment Has Expired? Judgments have expiration dates. If they are not timely renewed, they expire. In CA that is 10 years.
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.
Regardless of whether any payments are made, your judgment does not last forever. In Ohio, judgments go “dormant” in 5 years after the latter of: (a) when the judgment was issued, or (b) the last time it was used to create a lien, generate a seizure, obtain a garnishment order, or any other similar effort.
A judgment lien on real estate remains in effect for five years. You may not be able to collect a judgment right away through a judgment lien on real estate, but it will ensure that the property cannot be sold or refinanced within the next five years without dealing with your lien.

The Judgment Lien is filed using the lump sum judgment taken from a hearing held with the courts. This lien becomes dormant within five years from the filing when the judgment is in favor of the obligee. If the judgment is in favor of the state the dormant date begins after 10 years of the filing date.
Except for motions made during a hearing or during trial, motions are required to be in writing. They must also be filed in court and served on the opposing party's attorney (or the party if not represented by counsel). If the motion is contested, the opposing attorneys will also file papers opposing the motion.
