[CLBS] Mechanics lien reduced to judgment

[Jed Manwaring]

I stand corrected by Jeff & Matt & Sheila- 

Typically, the judgment would have also included foreclosure of the lien with a sheriff's sale of the liened property and the lienholder's right to credit bid in.  To the extend there is an unpaid portion of the judgment left it would be treated in the law like any other judgment i.e. a lien on any other of Debtor's real property in the county where it is recorded and has to be renewed every 5 years if entered b/f July 1, 2015, and every 10 years if after July 1, 2015.  Or, if after 5 yrs but before 6 years one can sue on the judgment to renew.

Subject: [CLBS] Mechanics lien reduced to judgment

Does a mechanics lien which has been reduced to a judgment and recorded as a judgment lien lose the statutory quality as a mechanics lien?

In other words, can it be avoided if turned into a judgment?
