A. A nonconsensual lien, other than a lien filed by a governmental entity or political subdivision or agency, a validly licensed utility or water delivery company, a mechanics' lien claimant or an entity created under covenants, conditions, restrictions or declarations affecting real property, shall not be recorded unless the lien is accompanied by an order or judgment from a court of competent jurisdiction authorizing the filing of the lien.
