A&nbsp;<strong>first<\/strong><strong> position mortgage<\/strong>&nbsp;is usually the senior <a href=\"https:\/\/easytitlesearch.com\/articles\/what-are-liens-and-how-do-they-affect-your-property\/\" title=\"What Are Liens And How Do They Affect Your Property?\" data-wpil-monitor-id=\"72\">lien on most residential properties<\/a>. When a first mortgage forecloses properly, it wipes out all junior liens, but not senior ones.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, the keyword is&nbsp;<strong>properly<\/strong>. If the lienholders were not named correctly in the foreclosure action, did not receive proper service, or if the judgment includes errors, junior liens can survive. This is one of the most common and expensive surprises investors discover after the sale.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Liens_Typically_Wiped_Out_by_a_First_Mortgage_Foreclosure\"><\/span><strong>Liens Typically Wiped Out by a First Mortgage Foreclosure<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>When the foreclosure is done correctly and all parties are named, these liens are normally wiped out:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>1. Second Mortgages and HELOCs<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Any mortgages recorded after the first mortgage are junior. A well-executed first mortgage foreclosure extinguishes second mortgages, HELOCs, and other junior financing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>2. Most Private Loans and Promissory Notes<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If they were recorded after the first mortgage, they are wiped out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>3. Judgment Liens<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Money judgments, credit card judgments, and personal liens are usually junior and do not survive if they were recorded later than the first mortgage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>4. Mechanic\u2019s Liens<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Contractor or construction liens are junior if recorded after the first mortgage. If recorded before, they may survive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Liens_That_Survive_a_First_Mortgage_Foreclosure\"><\/span><strong>Liens That Survive a First Mortgage Foreclosure<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Even the cleanest foreclosure does not wipe out these liens:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>1. County Property Taxes<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Property <a href=\"https:\/\/easytitlesearch.com\/articles\/how-do-i-find-tax-liens-on-a-property-in-florida\/\" title=\"How Do I Find Tax Liens on a Property in Florida?\" data-wpil-monitor-id=\"75\">taxes<\/a> are always senior to mortgages in Florida. They survive every foreclosure, and the winning bidder must pay all outstanding taxes, penalties, and any tax certificate redemptions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>2. Municipal Liens<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>City code enforcement liens for things like tall grass, abandoned pool, unsafe structure, nuisance fines, and open permits often survive. Some municipalities have \u201csuper priority\u201d rules, and many have aggressive collection practices. These must always be checked in the city system because they are rarely recorded in county records.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>3. IRS Liens<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Federal tax <a href=\"https:\/\/easytitlesearch.com\/articles\/which-liens-survive-a-florida-foreclosure\/\" title=\"Which liens survive a Florida foreclosure\" data-wpil-monitor-id=\"73\">liens survive the foreclosure<\/a>, but the IRS only has a limited redemption right. They can redeem the property within 120 days, but they rarely do. The lien remains attached until the redemption period ends or the IRS releases it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>4. HOA and Condo Liens (The Trap For Investors)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In Florida, a first mortgage foreclosure will usually wipe out the\u00a0<em>recorded<\/em>\u00a0HOA or condo lien, as long as the association was properly named in the case. That does not mean you are off the hook.  This is especially important in <a href=\"https:\/\/easytitlesearch.com\/articles\/how-to-do-a-palm-beach-county-florida-title-search\/\" title=\"How to do a Palm Beach County Florida Title Search\"  data-wpil-monitor-id=\"50967\">Palm Beach County<\/a>, Broward County and Miami-Dade County.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Under Florida Statutes 718.116 and 720.3085, the new owner is jointly and severally liable with the previous owner for unpaid assessments that came due before the transfer of title. The law also creates a special \u201csafe harbor\u201d that caps this liability for a first mortgage lender who takes title, but that protection does not automatically apply to a third-party investor who wins at the foreclosure auction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In practice, this means the lien that you see in the records may be wiped out at the sale, but the association can still demand payment of prior unpaid assessments from you as the new owner, and if you do not pay, they can record a new lien against you.  With any  Miami properties, it&#8217;s crucial to get someone familiar with Miami-Dade foreclosure title searches.  Typically companies charge a premium for searches in this county and when you do these title searches you will know why.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"When_Junior_Liens_Do_Not_Get_Wiped_Out\"><\/span><strong>When Junior Liens Do Not Get Wiped Out<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Liens that should be wiped out may survive because of procedural errors, such as:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>The lienholder was not named correctly.<\/li><li>The lienholder was not served.<\/li><li>The property legal description was wrong.<\/li><li>The <a href=\"https:\/\/easytitlesearch.com\/articles\/what-is-a-judgement-lien-2\/\"  data-wpil-monitor-id=\"69420\">judgment failed to address the lien<\/a>.<\/li><li>The foreclosure was a refiled action missing earlier lienholders.<\/li><li>A title assignment was never recorded, so the lender named the wrong party.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>This is why checking the foreclosure docket and comparing it to the current title is critical.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_Bottom_Line_for_Florida_Investors\"><\/span><strong>The Bottom Line for Florida Investors<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>In Florida, buying a <a href=\"https:\/\/easytitlesearch.com\/articles\/what-is-quiet-title-and-why-do-i-need-to-do-it\/\" title=\"What is \u201cQuiet Title\u201d and Why Do I Need to Do it?\" data-wpil-monitor-id=\"71\">foreclosure requires more than assuming the title<\/a> is cleared. A first mortgage foreclosure wipes out most junior liens, but&nbsp;<strong>taxes, municipal liens, federal tax liens, and certain HOA and condo obligations survive<\/strong>. Plus, any junior lien can survive if the foreclosing attorney made an error in naming or serving the parties.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Before bidding on any Florida foreclosure, always get a <a href=\"https:\/\/easytitlesearch.com\/articles\/how-to-do-your-miami-dade-county-florida-title-search\/\" title=\"How to do a Miami-Dade County Florida Title Search\" data-wpil-monitor-id=\"50963\">foreclosure title search<\/a> and review the foreclosure docket. A missed $200 lien can turn into a $20,000 liability once daily penalties, interest, attorney fees, and municipal costs are added.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When a property goes through foreclosure in Florida, investors often assume the winning bidder walks away with a clean slate.
