Can a lien be put on your property without your knowledge?

Yes, it is possible. Certain liens, such as tax liens, judgment liens, or mechanics liens, do not require a direct contract with the homeowner to be valid. For example, a court judgment or unpaid taxes can result in an involuntary lien being filed against your property even without your agreement.
