Can we file a lien for our last invoice

MissouriMechanics Lien

Can we file a lien for our last invoice that was not paid from the home owners, there was never any written agreement just verbal. We are electrical contractors. We have already sent by mail a notice to lien.

I am sorry to hear about the issues you have experienced. If contractors and suppliers don't get paid on a construction project in Missouri, they can file a mechanics lien to secure payment. Subcontractors and laborers must send a notice of intent (NOI) to lien 10 days prior to filing a lien. Considering an NOI has been sent, a mechanics lien must be filed within 6 months of the last work. Once a mechanics lien has been filed, an action to enforce a Missouri mechanics lien must be initiated within 6 months from filing.
