Can a lien be filed on a home build for "administrative fees," "operational fees," or "supervisional fees?"
Can a mechanics lien be filed on a home build for "administrative fees," "operational fees," or "supervisional fees?" Its my understanding that these liens can only be filed for materials and labor.
In Kentucky, a mechanics lien cannot exceed the contract price for the improvement. So, a contractor who has added additional fees on top of the contract price for the work may end up creating problems for themselves. In fact, overstating a mechanics lien amount is a common reason that mechanics liens are invalidated.
