If the document purports to create a lien on property, who must be notified by the clerk?

• A. The judge.
• B. The person named in the document at his or her stated or last known address.
• C. The clerk's supervisor.
• D. The city attorney.

Answer: (B)

When a document claims a lien on property, the notice must go to the person named in that document at the address stated or the last known address. This ensures the affected party is informed about the lien and has an opportunity to respond or challenge it. The clerk’s role is to deliver that notice to the individual identified in the lien, using the address the document provides or the most recent address on file. The other options—such as notifying a judge, a supervisor, or a city attorney—do not fulfill the requirement to notify the person whose rights could be affected by the lien.
