Arizona Mechanics Liens Deadlines 120 Days In Arizona, material suppliers and others like equipment lessors must file a mechanics lien within 120 days from the completion of the project as a whole. The above is a direct quote from your site. How is the referenced completion date determined? Thanks! Bo Davis Commercial Metals Company bo.davis@cmc.com 972-308-4549
Arizona law provides that a subcontractor/supplier has 120 days to record a mechanic's lien from the date of "completion." Completion means: (1) 30 days after final inspection and written final acceptance by the governmental body which issued the building permit; or (2) Cessation of labor for more than 60 days. If there is no building permit issued, then "completion" occurs on the last date that labor, materials, fixtures or tools were furnished to the property.
However, if a notice of completion was recorded by the owner with the county recorder's office, then you have 60 days from the date of that recording to record your lien.
