 Civil Money Judgments become a general lien on real property upon entry of judgment in the docket.  They act as a lien for twenty (20) years and may be revived indefinitely for additional periods of twenty (20) years.  If a judgment is against a prior owner and more than ten (10) years have elapsed since the ''bona fide'' transfer of property from the prior owner, then the lien will expire.
 ===District Court Judgments===
 District Court Judgments do not constitute liens on real property in Virginia.  The judgments entered in the District Court last for ten (10) years and must be filed at the Circuit Court level before they expire in order to become general liens on real estate.
