What is a judgment on a property? According to Investopedia, “A judgment lien is a court ruling that gives a creditor the right to take possession of a debtor's property if the debtor fails to fulfill his or her contractual obligations. Judgment liens are non-consensual because they are attached to property without the owner's consent or agreement.”
A Lien on a property is similar, but defined as "a legal right or claim against a piece of property by a creditor. Liens are commonly placed against property such as homes and cars so creditors can collect what is owed to them."
If you don't pay your property taxes on time, the government can charge you interest and penalties and gets a lien on your property. A property tax lien can result in the government taking your house and selling it.
