FAQ

How long do I have to file a mechanics lien?

In most instances, with some exceptions, you can record a mechanics lien within 90 days of the time your work ends on a project or the project itself ends. You then have another 90 days from the date of recording to foreclose on the lien, which requires a lawsuit. If you do not file the lawsuit, the lien will be invalidated. In addition, if you are a subcontractor, you have a 20-day time limit from the start of your work to give a preliminary notice about your lien to the general contractor and owner, or you will not be able to recover on a mechanics lien. There are some exceptions and you should talk to an attorney about these time limits.
