FAQ
The easy definition is that a judgment is an official decision rendered by the court with regard to a civil matter. A judgment lien, sometimes referred to as an “abstract of judgment,” is an involuntary lien that is filed to give constructive notice and is to attach to the Judgment Debtor's property and/or assets.
Also referred to as a tax judgment or tax lien, a tax warrant provides the Tax Department many options to take collection action against you or your business.
To obtain a judgment lien, you must first record the judgment with the court of common pleas in the county where the debtor owns property. The lien will stay in effect for five years, but can be renewed, if the debtor does not sell the property within that time period.
Pennsylvania judgments are valid for 5 years. Judgments can be revived every 5 years and should be revived if a creditor is attempting to actively collect on the debt. Judgments also act as a lien against real property for up to 20 years or longer if properly revived.
Because a judgment lien, unlike a tax lien, attaches only to real property of the judgment debtor, a judgment lien can be obtained against personal property only by seizing the property under the judgment enforcement procedures.
In Pennsylvania, lien rights extend to general contractors, subcontractors and sub-subcontractors (contractors and suppliers who have a direct contract with subcontractors). A notice of intent to lien to an owner is due 30 days before the Lien Claim is filed for subcontractors and sub-subcontractors.
Lien must be filed w/in 6 months after last labor or materials furnished. In Pennsylvania, an action to enforce a mechanics lien must be initiated within 2 years of the date of filing the lien claim. This deadline may not be extended, and failure to meet the deadline results in the lien becoming unenforceable.
To obtain a judgment lien, you must first record the judgment with the court of common pleas in the county where the debtor owns property. The lien will stay in effect for five years, but can be renewed, if the debtor does not sell the property within that time period.
