How to file mechanics lien

OhioMechanics Lien

Finished a house flip that sale has closed on and lender has a lien on the property for a previous loan they issued on same house. We put in 77,000 out of our own pocket to turn the house into a 215,000 property from a 25,000 property. They want to retain all profits made, we want to put a lien on the proceeds so we can be paid for work done. We've filled out the form but want to make sure we've done it correctly before we file. Any advice would be appreciated. Thank you,

Filing an Ohio mechanics lien is a pretty simple process. Ultimately, it's just getting the right form, filling it with correct information, filing that lien with the county recorders office (for a fee), and sending notice of that lien filing to the owner (within 30 days). You can find a step by step breakdown of that process, here: How to File an Ohio Mechanics Lien – A Step by Step Guide to Get You Paid. And, you can find the contact info for every Ohio county recorder, here: Ohio County Recorders. If you're looking for someone to review your lien claim before you file it, one of these Ohio attorneys may be able to review your document: Find a Ohio Construction Lawyer.
