FIRST ANSWER

Usually what happens is that the lien is placed on title against the owner. If you went to sell the house, the lien holder would be entitled to payment before the house can be sold. You would either have to pay the lien before the closing or pay it out of closing costs, but either way the property can not transfer until the lien is satisfied.
