I had a mitigation contractor do work for me in January 18th of this year. He said he would collect payment through insurance and never provided me with an invoice. Only July 20th he put a Mechanics Lien on my property. From my understanding, a mechanics lien needs to be enforced within 90 days. How do I go about invalidating the Lien? I checked the public record on the property and the lien appears to have gone through when it shouldn't have.
Thank you for your reply! I want to make sure we're talking about the same thing and provide further context, if that's alright.
From my understanding of the Lien process, a "preliminary notice" must be given and a Mechanics Lien must be filed within 90 days of job completion. If you look at the two dates that I listed in this situation, it is far past the 90 days and the lien should be invalid, correct?
It is my understanding that your response refers to the 90-day the contractor has to take further legal action. If that is the case I think we are talking about two different 90-day limits but I appreciate the response nonetheless! Do you have any advice on how to invalidate the lien?
Thank you!
