**A** question that might be of general interest to many condominium unit owners arose during a March 2013 post: Can a lien be put on your property in secret? Can a lien be put on your property without documented notification; which might be 1) being served with a summons to court 2) receiving a certified letter or some other form of communication requiring official receipt. Under the law and under normal practice can an entity put a lien on your condominium unit without telling you? Opinions and comments on past experience would be interesting to this forum.
