Rules and regulations for sending a Minnesota Mechanics Lien
A Mechanic Lien Statement must be filed with the proper recording office and served upon the property owner and the party who hired the claimant (if different from owner), within 120 days after last furnishing labor and/or materials to the project. This deadline marks the end of this 120 day period.
After completing the Minnesota Mechanics Lien Form, you must deliver it to the appropriate parties required by statute. Notices are typically served on the property owner and, for sub-tier parties, the general contractor. However, depending on the type of notice, it can be helpful to send notices to anyone else who is in charge of your payment, like a lender or surety company on the project.

Lien filed against property
You could:
- Negotiate a settlement out of your pocket.
- Sue the contractor who did not pay the sub or convince the contractor to pay the sub
- You could wait and see if the lienholder foreclosed on the lien thru a law suit within one year of last efforts on the job as that is what is required.
If the lienholder sues they can get their legal fees and court costs paid so take it seriously.
Filing a lien
Generally, no - two claims from separate parties cannot be lumped on to the same mechanics lien filing. That being said, once the separate liens are perfected in the property records, individual claimants could jointly pursue enforcement of their liens in one action (if enforcement becomes necessary).
Do we need to go to small claims court and then file a lien or how do we collect.
If you are located in MInnesota and depending upon what is in the Declaration creating what you have described as a form of common interest community, you may have a lien that can be foreclosed for unpaid Association dues. Alternatively, the Association could bring a collection action in conciliation court for past due moneys, but that will not solve the problem if it continues.
