You must file a complaint to foreclose the lien within one year of recording of claim of lien. The complaint must be filed in the circuit court for the county in

You may have absolute defenses to the lien and additional charges. An unlicensed residential contractor cannot record a lien or pursue any claims for

which would extend the lien deadline. Feel free to call me at (517) 318-3058 to discuss.

If the tile contractor is not properly licensed, he may be prohibited from recording a lien against your home or taking other action to collect the amount
claimed due. I would be happy to discuss this matter with you further. Please give me a call at (517) 881-2468.

Michigan Construction Liens expire 1 year after recording if a foreclosure complaint is not filed. You can file an affidavit with the county clerk which will issue
a certificate that the lien has expired and has no effect.
