Property Ownership
In Oregon, a 'general lien' differs from a 'specific lien' in that:

BA general lien attaches to all non-exempt property owned by a person; a specific lien attaches only to a specific property✓ Correct
CGeneral liens are always voluntarily created; specific liens are involuntary
DSpecific liens are recorded; general liens are not
Explanation
A general lien (such as a judgment lien) attaches to all of a person's non-exempt real property in a county where it is recorded. A specific lien (such as a mortgage or mechanic's lien) attaches only to the specific property described. When a judgment is recorded in Oregon, it becomes a general lien on all non-exempt real property owned by the debtor in that county.
