Santa Clara County HOA Lien List
621 Santa Clara County properties carry an open HOA lien — #12 of California's 58 counties and 2.2% of the statewide total. When a California owner stops paying dues, the association records an assessment lien under the Davis-Stirling Act, and once the debt passes the statutory floor it can foreclose even if the mortgage is current. It's one of the most overlooked distress signals in county records: recurring bills stopped being paid, often long before any bank files a notice of default. Each lien here is matched against recorded releases, so the list holds only liens that are actually still open.

Every recorded lien
Tax liens, judgments, mechanics liens, HOA liens. Amounts, parties, and whether each one is still active — matched against recorded releases, so a lien on the profile is a lien that's really there.
What's on Every Property Record
Every property shows the recorded lien amount and date, whether the association has moved to foreclose, the owner's record and mailing address, open loans, other liens on the parcel, and true equity. An HOA lien on a high-equity home is a classic early-outreach setup: the owner has something to protect and a problem that compounds monthly.

Frequently Asked Questions
How many open HOA liens are there in Santa Clara County?
Properant tracks 621 open HOA liens in Santa Clara County as of August 27, 2026 — ranked #12 of California's 58 counties — counted from recorded county documents with releases and cancellations removed.
Can an HOA really foreclose on a home in Santa Clara County?
Yes. Under the Davis-Stirling Act a California association can foreclose once delinquent assessments cross the statutory threshold, through either judicial or nonjudicial process. HOA foreclosures run on a separate track from mortgage foreclosures — a home can be current on its loan and still be facing an HOA sale, which is exactly why these properties rarely show up on ordinary foreclosure lists.
