How to file a demand for lien to be removed

ColoradoLien ReleasesMechanics LienPayment Disputes
Anonymous Contractor

The contractor didn't finish the job and demanded the final payment on the contract, I refused until the final enspection and he filed for a lien. His permit expired and I opened one to close the project. I had 3 items the city required to pass and I have since passed the final. What do I need to demand the lien be released?

Just because the contractor didn't finish does not necessarily mean he is not owed at least some money for the reasonable value of the work he performed prior to termination. I would recommend you retain a qualified construction attorney to analyze the specific facts of your case and provide advice and assistance.

I apologize, I have my questions set to California only, bur for whatever reason the LevelSet website sometimes kicks me questions from other states. I am not authorized to practice law in Colorado, and hope you can find the answer to questions.
