FAQ
A Florida judgment creditor can put a judgment lien on the judgment debtor's tangible personal property and some kinds of intangible personal property. Tangible property means things you can see and touch, like furniture, electronics, artwork, and jewelry.
File a certified copy of your judgment in the real estate records of the county in which the property is located. The lien is in effect for 10 years, and it can be renewed for an additional ten years.
Online via an Official Records portal: Most Florida circuit clerk offices provide an Official Records Search portal on their websites, which interested persons can access to find liens on a property, including tax liens registered by taxing authorities.
For more recent records (including birth certificates, property records, and tax liens), please contact the Orange County Clerk-Recorder at (714) 834-2500 or click on the “ Clerk-Recorder Home Page ” link.
A judgment lien in Florida will remain attached to the debtor's property (even if the property changes hands) for ten years (real estate lien) or five years (personal property lien).
The recorded judgment automatically attaches to all property in whatever county the judgment is recorded. The creditor would have to record the judgment in all 67 Florida counties separately to create a state-wide lien on the debtor's real property. Second, only “certified copies” of the judgment give rise to a lien.
An involuntary lien can occur without your knowledge, depending on the circumstances. A creditor often places a judgment lien after suing you and winning the case.
Florida Statute of Limitations on a Judgment Lasts 20 Years. Until recently, there has been some debate on this litigation question caused by the interpretation of some Courts that a Florida judgment is subject to a five year statute of limitations.
