What kind of lien is it? (IRS , Property Tax, Mechanic’s, Judgment, Child Support,

Unrecorded Municipal?)

According to Fla. Stat. § 55.10, a judgment becomes a lien on real property in any county when a certified copy of it is recorded in the official records or judgment lien record of that county and operates as a lien for an initial period of 10 years from the date of the recording; and the judgment creditor may extend the 10 year period by complying with Fla. Stat. § 55.10(2).
