For how long may liens remain in force, according to Florida law?

Liens can remain in force for a duration of 20 years under Florida law. This is aligned with the statutory provisions that govern the lifespan of different types of liens, ensuring that rights to collect debts or enforce compliance are maintained for a substantial period.

This 20-year duration applies to various types of liens, including those for unpaid property taxes, code enforcement fines, and other municipal claims. It provides a framework to ensure that property owners are aware of any obligations tied to their properties and allows for sufficient time for municipalities to enforce their claims. After this period, the lien will typically expire unless it has been re-recorded or renewed in accordance with applicable laws.
