If you’re facing non-payment after a construction project in Nye County, one of the best ways to get the money moving again is to file a mechanics lien with the Nye County Recorder’s Office. The good news is that contractors have strong lien rights under Nevada lien law, and most parties on a construction project have the right to file a lien. However, there are still rules and limitations that you must adhere to.

To get started, here are three key areas of Nevada lien law that you should be aware of before preparing your lien claim.

Some parties do not have lien rights in Nevada. Material suppliers and unlicensed contractors may not have the right to file a mechanics lien in the event of non-payment.
The preliminary notice requirements in Nevada are firm. Lien claimants need to send a preliminary notice to the property owner to protect their lien rights.
Lien claimants also need to send a copy of the lien itself to the property owner. Failure to send a copy of the lien to the property owner means you lose your right to file a mechanics lien in Nevada.

Nevada lien law is unique in many ways. To learn more about the limitations that apply to you or to find the lien documents you’ll need, check out our Nevada Mechanics Lien Law FAQ. To learn more about the preliminary notice requirements in Nevada, look at our page for Nevada Preliminary Notices.
