Pennsylvania Statutes Title 49 P.S. Mechanics' Liens § 1706. Execution upon judgment

(a) Judgment Essential to Execution. No execution shall issue against the property subject to a claim except after judgment shall have been obtained upon the claim, and within five (5) years from the date of such judgment or a revival thereof.

(b) Conformity to Rules of Civil Procedure. The practice and procedure relating to execution shall be governed by the Pennsylvania Rules of Civil Procedure relating to execution.

(c) Division of Tract. Where only a part of a single tract is subject to the lien of a mechanic's claim, and such part cannot be sold without prejudice or injury to the whole, the court on petition of the owner, claimant or any person in interest may order the entire tract sold and shall equitably distribute the proceeds of sale according to the relative value of the part bound by and that free of the claim. The court may determine the matter itself and for that purpose may receive evidence by deposition or otherwise, or may appoint an auditor to hear the evidence and report to the court.
