Q: Where do I go and how do I file and what do I need for a Lis pendens
A:
Your question is unclear. Are you wanting to record a Lis Pendens notice against real property in the County land records against someone else's property? Or are you wanting to know how to remove one that has been recorded against property you own?
If the former, you first would probably need to file a lawsuit involving the property before recording a Lis Pendens notice. And not every type of lawsuit may give rise to the right to file one. You need to consult an experienced real estate attorney in your area before proceeding.
If you're wanting to remove one, you may have to prevail in the litigation that gave rise to it, or, if it was filed without any claim of right, you may have to sue to have it removed. Again, consult local real estate counsel in your area for specific advice.
