Your property cannot be sold or mortgaged until the lien is paid. If the lien is substantial the creditor can force a sale of the property. If the lien is for property taxes the town can get a court order, take possession of and sell the property. You should also be aware that interest begins to add up on any judgment lien until it is paid off. The debt will grow larger.
