Yes.

If the underlying debt results from improvement being made to your personal residence, a person/company may lien your property. Further, they may take action to foreclose on the lien and force the sale of the property on the court house steps. It doesn't matter whether you pay your mortgage, taxes or anything else. This is a construction or mechanics' lien and section 713 of Florida Statutes governs these transactions.

If you receive a Claim of Lien in Florida as a result of improvements being made on your residence, you should take it very seriously and consult with an attorney expert in construction law in Florida.

If a creditor wins a judgment against you in court the court will issue a judgment lien that can be recorded in the land records. The property cannot be mortgaged or sold until the lien is paid. The judgment creditor can force the sale of the property under certain circumstances. See related link.
