I am a subcontractor/supplier. Most often, I am hired directly by a prime contractor, but occasionally I am hired by another subcontractor or even sub-subcontractor. Do I still have lien rights in those cases where I am four or five people down the line from the property owner? We have found ourselves in this situation before and when it came time to file a lien, we were informed that we had no lien rights because we were so far removed from the property owner.
