Can you get a lien on your Homesteaded property in Florida?

In Florida, a homestead is generally protected from forced sale to satisfy most debts. However, there are certain exceptions to the homestead protection, including:

* A mortgage lien. A mortgage lien is a lien that is created when you borrow money to buy a home. The lien gives the lender the right to sell your home if you fail to repay the loan.

* A judgment lien. A judgment lien is a lien that is created when a court orders you to pay someone money. The lien allows the person who won the judgment to collect the money by selling your home.

* A tax lien. A tax lien is a lien that is created when you fail to pay your property taxes. The lien allows the government to sell your home to collect the taxes.

In addition to these exceptions, there are also some other ways that a lien can be placed on your homesteaded property in Florida. For example, if you sign a contract with a contractor to improve your home and you fail to pay the contractor, the contractor may be able to place a lien on your home.

If you are concerned about whether a lien can be placed on your homesteaded property, you should speak to an attorney.
