FAQ

Satisfy the Judgment: Paying the debt in full is the most straightforward way to remove the lien. Obtain a satisfaction of judgment from the creditor and file it with the court.

Liens are valid for five years from the original filing date. Florida law allows judgment liens to be filed a second time to extend the lien's validity five more years. (See s. 55.201-55.209, F.S.)

In the state of Florida, a judgment lien becomes a public record and expires after 20 years, ing to Florida Statute 55.081.

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.

The Length of a Judgment A judgment is good, and can be enforced, for up to 20 years. That seems like a long time, and it is. A judgment is good for 10 years and Florida allows a creditor to “renew” a judgment before the expiration of the 10 years for an additional 10 years, thus giving a judgment almost unending life.

Duration of a Judgment in Florida A judgment can be enforced against real property or personal property for up to 20 years under Florida law. That means that a creditor can pursue payment from you for up to 20 years from the date of the judgment if the creditor extends or renews it.

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).

To attach a lien, the creditor must record the judgment with the county recorder in any Florida county where the debtor owns real estate now or may own real estate in future. For liens on personal property, the creditor files the judgment with the Florida Department of State.

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.

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.
