As a supplier, can we file a mechanic's lien in Nevada if the person we sold to is not the property owner, and is not a licensed contractor if the material in not paid for?
Nevada has rules prohibiting unlicensed contractors from filing a lien claim (at N.R.S. 108.222). However, the Nevada lien statute does not appear to limit lien rights for suppliers who supply materials to unlicensed contractors, and that would align with most states' stances on the matter. Typically, loss of the right to lien applies only the party who failed to obtain the proper licensure.
Agree with the above. That said, I have seen the argument that if the supplier had actual knowledge that the contractor was unlicensed, that the supplier should be denied lien rights for facilitating the unlicensed contractor.
looks good to check
