Some governing documents state that assessments are a permanent liability against a unit's title, and are payable in increments, usually 12 over the course of a year. The annual budget, then, establishes the annual assessment amount.

Some lien language, when filed against an owner who falls behind in paying assessments -- at the judgment of the board -- can indicate that a lien essentially 'rolls' with the due date of every assessment increment, should it not be paid.

Your best answer will come from your association-savvy attorney, given more details of your specific situation.

Answer

No. The type of lien you seem to be referring to is a charge upon real or personal property for the satisfaction of some debt. If the debt doesn't exist then there are no grounds for entering a lien against any property.

If you loan money to another person for the purchase of real property you should record a mortgage in the land records as security that the loan will be paid. If you loan money for the purchase of a car your lien can be stated on the Certificate of title.

This is a grey area depending on where you live:

  • Once all you personal finances are legally separated, no
  • If the debt was incurred During the divorce maybe
  • If the debt was incurred during your marriage, Yes definitely.

And just to be nasty they may file a Lien even though they are not entitled to and you will have to go through a painful long process to prove they are not entitled and incur cost to prove it. Then in many jurisdictions the authorities won't go after them in any way.

Really nice all around.

State Laws allow a city or town to record property tax liens after a property has been transferred to a new owner. In my area the municipality has three years to record a tax lien for unpaid property taxes. This is one of the reasons a prudent buyer hires an attorney who specializes in real estate law to represent them when they purchase real estate. The attorney will examine the record title and check with municipal departments to determine if any unpaid taxes or other assessments exist.

Other types of creditors are out of luck if they don't record a lien prior to the debtor's sale of the property.
