What Is a Mechanics Lien?
Mechanics liens — also known as construction liens — are one of the most powerful tools at the disposal of contractors, subcontractors, and material suppliers to resolve payment disputes. The mechanics lien grants the contractor the ability to pursue a legal judgment which could lead to the property being sold and the contractor getting paid out of the proceeds of the sale. This mechanism ensures that contractors have a means of recovering payments owed to them, thereby offering a powerful incentive for property owners to fulfill their financial obligations promptly.
The Complexities of Filing Mechanics Liens
Filing a mechanics lien is challenging due to varying laws and strict deadlines in each state and county. Even small mistakes can result in losing your right to file a lien, thus leaving your only remedy a costly lawsuit. Verifying property details and meeting all legal requirements is crucial, but the process can be overwhelming and put your payment at risk.
