Can I put a lien on a property for non payment.

Massachusetts

I installed temporary construction fence for a home builder on his site. He paid the first invoice. The second invoice was extended rental and damaged fence panels. He will not return any phone calls or texts. I would like to put a lien on the property. I'm not sure if the home has been sold or not.

You need to file a Notice of Contract at the registry of deed in the county where the house is located ASAP. Then file a statement of account and then file a lawsuit within 90 days of the statement of account.

You can lien the property as long as it has not yet been sold. You can review the records on line for the registry of deeds to see if a transfer has already occurred.
