§ 11-7-195. Judgment not a lien out of county unless enrolled.
A judgment or decree rendered in any court of the United States or of this state shall not be a lien upon or bind any property of the defendant situated out of the county in which the judgment or decree was rendered until the plaintiff shall file in the office of the clerk of the circuit court of the county in which such property is situated an abstract of such judgment or decree which has been certified by the clerk of the court in which the same was rendered containing the names of all the parties to such judgment or decree, its amount, the social security or tax identification number of the defendant if such information is known or readily ascertainable, the date of the rendition, and the amount appearing to have been paid thereon, if any. It shall be the duty of the clerk of the circuit court on receiving such abstract and on payment of the fees allowed by law for filing and enrolling the same, to file and forthwith enroll the same on The Judgment Roll, as in other cases. Such judgment or decree shall, from the date of its enrollment, be a lien upon and bind the property of the defendant within the county where it shall be so enrolled. If a foreign judgment has been filed in any county of this state pursuant to Sections 11-7-301 through 11-7-309 and such judgment may be enforced in such county, then, for purposes of this section, such judgment shall be treated as if it had been rendered in such county and may be enrolled on The Judgment Roll in other counties pursuant to the provisions of this section. Any judgment for the purpose described in Section 85-3-52 shall not be a lien on any property in this state, real, personal or mixed, that is owned by a resident of this state and shall not be enforced or satisfied against any such property.
