(1) At any time after a judgment that creates a judgment lien is entered under ORS § 18.150 and before the expiration of the judgment remedies for the judgment, a judgment creditor may create a judgment lien for the judgment in any other county of this state by recording the judgment in the County Clerk Lien Record for that county. The judgment may be recorded by recording a certified copy of the judgment document or a lien record abstract for the judgment.

(2) Except as provided in this section, a judgment recorded under this section has the following effect in the county in which the judgment is recorded:

(a) When the judgment is recorded, the judgment lien attaches to all real property of the judgment debtor in the county at that time; and

(b) The judgment lien attaches to all real property that the judgment debtor acquires in the county at any time after the judgment is recorded and before the judgment lien expires.

(3) Except as provided in this section, if a judgment recorded under this section contains a support award, the support award portion of the judgment has the following effect in the county in which the judgment is recorded:

(a) When the judgment is recorded, a support arrearage lien attaches to all real property of the judgment debtor in the county at that time for any unpaid lump sum support award contained in the judgment or any unpaid installment that became due under the terms of the support award before the judgment was recorded.

(b) A support arrearage lien for any unpaid lump sum support award contained in the judgment or any unpaid installment that became due under the terms of the support award before the judgment was recorded attaches to all real property that the judgment debtor acquires in the county at any time after the judgment is recorded and before full satisfaction is made for the lump sum or installment or the judgment lien of the support award portion of the judgment expires.

(c) If an installment becomes due under the terms of the support award and is not paid after the judgment is recorded, a support arrearage lien for the installment attaches to all real property of the judgment debtor in the county at the time the installment becomes due and attaches to all real property that the judgment debtor thereafter acquires in the county until full satisfaction is made for the installment or the judgment lien of the support award portion of the judgment expires.

(4)(a) If a certificate of extension is filed under ORS § 18.182, and the certificate is filed before the judgment is recorded under this section, a judgment creditor may record a certified copy of the certificate or a lien record abstract for the certificate with the judgment. The recording shall act to extend the judgment lien of a judgment, and any support arrearage lien, in the county for the time provided in ORS § 18.180 to 18.190.

(b) If a certificate of extension is filed under ORS § 18.182, and the certificate is filed after the judgment is recorded under this section, a judgment creditor may record a certified copy of the certificate or a lien record abstract for the certificate in the County Clerk Lien Record in any county in which the judgment has been recorded under subsection (1) of this section. If the recording is made before the time that the judgment lien for the judgment would otherwise have expired under ORS § 18.180 to 18.190, the recording extends the judgment lien of the judgment, without loss of priority, for the time provided in ORS § 18.180 to 18.190. If the recording is made after the time that the judgment lien for the judgment would otherwise have expired under ORS § 18.180 to 18.190, the recording extends the judgment lien of the judgment for the time provided in ORS § 18.180 to 18.190, but the lien is subordinate to all other interests that are of record on the date the certificate or lien record abstract is recorded.

(5) When the judgment lien of a judgment expires in the county in which the judgment was originally entered, the judgment lien and any support arrearage lien created under this section expires in the other county or counties in which the judgment has been recorded.

(6) This section does not apply to justice courts, municipal courts or county courts performing judicial functions. [2003 c.576 § 15; 2005 c.568 § 20]
