The HOA filed a lien against your title for a reason. The reason is probably past-due assessments.
This action cannot be a surprise.
Liens are filed by attorneys in the local hall of records, so they become public documents. An attorney who filed the lien probably extended you the courtesy of notice of the filing.
If the HOA filed a lien for a different purpose that you feel is unjustified, best practices dictate that you hire counsel to fight the lien. If you prevail, you may well be awarded attorney's fees.
