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).

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.

Judgments have expiration dates. If they are not timely renewed, they expire. In CA that is 10 years. However, when a judgment lien has been recorded against your property, it has no expiration date.

Judgements can become a first lien against a property. Lenders generally want to be first lien when it comes to mortgages. So yes, it will be deal breaker for most mortgage companies. I've seen mortgages get denied because of a $6000 judgement.

This means that the government has 15 years to collect the taxes owed before the lien expires. Judgment lien: In Ohio, a judgment lien can be valid for up to 5 years. However, the lien can be extended for an additional 5 years if the creditor files a renewal notice before the expiration of the original lien.
