2020 Connecticut General Statutes|Title 49 - Mortgages and Liens|Chapter 847 - Liens|Section 49-92a - Purchaser's lien. Precedence. Foreclosure. Recording of notice.

 (a) A purchaser's lien is created for the amount of the deposit paid pursuant to and stated in a contract for the conveyance of land by the recording of such contract, or a notice thereof, in the records of the town in which the land is situated, provided the contract, or notice thereof, is executed by the owner and by the vendee of the land, witnessed and acknowledged in the same manner as required for a deed for the conveyance of land and describes the particular land to which it refers. Such purchaser's lien shall be prior to any other liens and encumbrances originating after the contract, or notice thereof, is recorded. A purchaser's lien may be foreclosed in the same manner as a mortgage. Transfer of title of the land to the vendee constitutes a release and discharge of the lien.(b) Any notice recorded pursuant to this section shall, in addition to the requirements set forth in subsection (a) of this section, include (1) the address of the owner and the vendee, (2) the date provided in the contract for the performance of such contract or, if such date is not provided in such contract, the date on which such contract was executed, and (3) the amount of the deposit paid pursuant to the contract. Nothing in this subsection shall be construed to affect the validity of any purchaser's lien created before October 1, 2004.(February, 1965, P.A. 272, S. 1; P.A. 79-602, S. 126; P.A. 04-132, S. 6.)History: P.A. 79-602 restated provisions but made no substantive change; P.A. 04-132 designated existing provisions as Subsec.

Section circumscribes the common law equitable lien by subjecting it to the time limitations of Sec. 49-92c. 40 CA 64. Language of statute clearly expresses a derogation of the common-law right to an equitable lien on property and thus mechanisms specified in statute for creating a purchaser's lien on property replace procedures for creating an equitable lien on that property. 91 CA 442.Cited. 38 CS 8.

If the lienor is not a resident of the state, the judge may order notice to be given by publication, registered or certified mail or personal service.(b) If the judge is satisfied that the applicant in good faith intends to contest the lien, he shall, if the applicant offers a bond, with sufficient surety, conditioned to pay to the lienor or his assigns such amount as the judge may adjudge to have been secured by the lien, with interest and costs, order the lien to be dissolved and the bond substituted therefor and shall return the application, notice, order and bond to the clerk of the superior court for the judicial district wherein the lien is recorded. If the applicant, within ten days from the return, causes a copy of the order, certified by the clerk, to be recorded in the town clerk's office where the lien is recorded, the lien shall be dissolved.(c) Whenever a bond is substituted for any lien after an action for the foreclosure of a lien has been commenced, the plaintiff in that foreclosure may amend his complaint, without costs, so as to make the action one upon the bond with which the plaintiff may join an action to recover upon his claim.(d) Whenever a bond is substituted for any lien before an action for the foreclosure of the lien has been commenced, the plaintiff may join the action upon the bond with an action to recover upon his claim.(e) Whenever a bond has been substituted for any lien, pursuant to this section, unless an action is brought to recover upon such bond within two years from the date of recording the certificate of lien, such bond shall be void.(February, 1965, P.A. 272, S. 2; P.A. 76-436, S. 650, 681; P.A. 78-280, S. 1, 127; P.A. 79-602, S. 127; 79-631, S. 40, 111.)History: P.A. 76-436 deleted references to powers of judges of court of common pleas under section and added reference to judicial districts, effective July 1, 1978; P.A. 78-280 deleted reference to counties; P.A. 79-602 divided section into Subsecs. and changed wording slightly but made no substantive changes; P.A. 79-631 made technical correction.Cited. 36 CA 206.
