What is a super lien associated with?

A super lien is specifically associated with unpaid condo fees, particularly under Massachusetts law. This concept indicates that certain liens take precedence over others, allowing the condominium association to claim a higher priority for the collection of unpaid fees from unit owners.

In the case of condo associations, if a unit owner fails to pay their condo fees, the association has the right to place a lien on the unit. Importantly, this lien has priority over most other types of liens, including mortgages, meaning that the condo association can potentially recoup their losses, even if it means displacing the mortgage lender from first position if the property is sold or foreclosed upon.

This priority makes it crucial for potential buyers and homeowners to understand the implications of such liens, as they could face significant financial obligations related to unpaid fees that were accrued by previous owners. Other options, while important in their own right, do not carry the same level of priority that super liens do in the context of condominium associations.
