Can someone put a lien on my home without me knowing?

The answer to your question is generally no. If someone wants to put a lien on the property, they must get the court's approval to do so. For example if it is a contractor, then they must advise the owner of their intent to place a lien on a home.

FAQ

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.

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).

In Minnesota, an action to enforce a mechanics lien must be initiated within 1 year from the date of the lien claimant's last furnishing of labor or materials to the project. If a claimant records their lien close to Minnesota's 120-day filing deadline, they will have about 8 months to enforce the claim.

The answer to your question is generally no. If someone wants to put a lien on the property, they must get the court's approval to do so. For example if it is a contractor, then they must advise the owner of their intent to place a lien on a home.

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.
