With respect to mechanics liens, while a particular party may be the responsible non-paying party, and may be listed on the lien claim document, the lien itself is filed against the actual property improved. So, liens are recorded in the county recorder's office and generally indexed by property - although some counties allow mechanics liens to be searched by the name of certain project participants. Additionally, through, you can search for Georgia contractors here, and see reviews and information with respect to payment behaviors and any known liens or payment disputes on jobs with which they were associated. Getting this insight can help construction participants make informed decisions about the contractors they may work for. Note, however, that the decision whether to file a lien does not necessarily arise from whether other liens have been filed. While it can be considered, the general factors related to the need to file a mechanics lien are nonpayment of money due for work performed on a construction project, and the associated deadlines. In Georgia, for example, a subcontractor must file a mechanics lien within 90 days of last furnishing labor or materials to the project (provided the required preliminary notices, if any, have been sent) or the right to file a lien expires.
