Q: Can the association file a lien on my condo after the amount due has been paid? I paid the amount do 10 days before.
A: If they mistake and you suffer damages, there are remedies for you. Otherwise simply request a release of the lien.
A:
Liens can be removed by them filing one piece of paper in a day. And just because the lien was RECORDED days after you paid doesn't mean it wasnt sent to the county recorder days prior; the county moves at their own pace to process docs (both recorder and Clerk of Court). The date the public sees it is not relevant to the date it was actually sent in as it is typically at least a day or many days later the public sees it.
Absent proving you were damaged somehow by the quick lien and removal there is nothing for you to do.
