When a document is recorded that might create an involuntary lien on real property, the Los Angeles County Registrar-Recorder/County Clerk's Office (RR/CC) is required by law to notify the persons affected. Notification is sent to the name on the address on the recorded document prepared by the party claiming the lien. The RR/CC is not involved nor has any knowledge of the circumstances that result in the filing. All questions regarding the lien should be directed to the party filing the lien.

A homestead helps protect you from losing your house to people to whom you owe money. Homestead law protects a certain amount of the value of your home from being taken to pay a judgement.

A Notice of Lis Pendens is a document recorded to evidence a pending court action concerning or affecting the title or the right of possession of real property.

Property taxes are not paid through the RR/CC office but through the Los Angeles County Treasurer and Tax Collector's Office.
