What is the Statute of limitation for judgment in New York?

Answer 1

The usual time limit is ten years at a maximum of 8% interest. N.Y. does not allow most judgments to be renewed.

A judgment in New York is valid for twenty years. During that time it can enforced against a judgment debtor's income and assets.

A lien of a judgment resulting from the docketing of a judgment with the County Clerk is good for ten years, and can be renewed for another ten years.

Answer 2

Six years is that Statue of limitations for any debt.

But when it is placed in judgement form, it is different. This becomes part of the public records. I am under the impression that a judgement does not have an "expiration date"--it has to be settled and paid to the attorney or person that placed it.

A Satisfaction of Lien will have to be filed with the county to show that it is paid.

The only way to remove a judgement is to have a Judge give a court order stating that this can be removed or "erased" sorta speak. Since this is now a public record..it will always show up when a search is done.

Answer 3

even if you pay it off it will stay on for 7-10 years
