In Pennsylvania, the lien filing process begins with the creditor preparing a written statement of the claim, which includes details such as the amount owed and a description of the property involved. This statement must then be filed with the Prothonotary's office in the appropriate county court, along with the required filing fee. Once filed, the creditor must serve notice of the lien to the property owner, often via certified mail. The lien remains in effect until it is satisfied or removed through legal processes.
