Available options when you receive a NOTICE OF INTENTION TO FILE A MEMORANDUM OF LIEN LETTER:
A Notice of Intention to File a Memorandum of Lien Letter is generated when we receive a request to file a Memorandum of Lien for unpaid assessments from an association client. For property owner associations it may include all unpaid items claimed by an association that are not over one year past due. For condominium unit owner associations it may include all unpaid items claimed by an association that are not over ninety days past due. The Memorandum of Lien is not a personal action against you. It is a Circuit Court filing in the land records of the City or County where real estate subject to assessments is located to attach a lien against the property. The Notice of Intention to File a Memorandum of Lien Letter is mailed to the property owner(s) at the address on record with the association via certified and first class mail. The cost to issue a Notice of Intention to File a Memorandum of Lien Letter, prepare a Memorandum of Lien package, file and release a Memorandum of Lien will be added to your total account balance.
- Your options upon receipt of a Notice of Intention to File a Memorandum of Lien Letter:
- To avoid a Memorandum of Lien from being filed we must receive payment in full via money order, cashier’s check or certified funds payable to Vonda J. Dunn, P.C. within ten days from the date of the letter. Personal checks are not an option to avoid a Memorandum of Lien filing.
- If we do not receive payment in full within ten days of the date of the letter a Memorandum of Lien will be filed in the Clerk’s Office of the Circuit Court of the City or County where the property is located.
