The lien form is signed and recorded in the property records of the county in which the property is located. Since HOA liens are quite complicated, I suggest that the HOA see a qualified real estate attorney--this will avoid any costly mistakes.

If the homeowners' association has recorded covenants and/or bylaws against the home in question, and the dues required by the covenants and/or bylaws have not been paid, a lien can be filed immediately in most cases, regardless of foreclosure or sale of the property. However, to ensure that the lien paperwork is filled out correctly (and avoid thousands of dollars in attorney fees should the homeowner challenge the lien in court), the homeowners' association should hire an attorney to prepare the lien documents.

What happens after a lien is placed on a property and waiting to get paid?

Each state is different, but a lien filed is only good for a certain amount of time in most cases. The person who filed has to either extend the lien on, i.e., a 6-month basis, or will have to sue to "perfect" the lien, which will then become a judgment against the person. A lien is only filed on a property.
