Yes, under Missisippi's lien laws, "no lien shall exist in faovr of any contractor or subcontractor who is not licensed as required..." Therefore, if a license isn't required by the MS State Board of Contractors to perform the work in question, than a license isn't required to be able to file a lien to secure payment.
