That's an interesting question. Generally, when property is owned by the federal government, that property cannot be liened. On federal projects, namely - large ones, recovery via bond claim pursuant to the Miller Act is generally more appropriate. But, if its a residential property and the federal government is somehow involved, a mechanics lien claim might still be possible.
