Nevada mechanics liens are only valid for 6 months after the date the claim was filed. If no enforcement action is initiated within that timeframe, the claim expires and is no longer enforceable. However, the filing will still remain on public record until the claim is actually released. To do so, the lienholder must file a lien release/cancellation in the county recorder's office where the initial claim was filed. This should typically be done once the claim is either satisfied (paid) or expires to avoid any potential penalties for failing to release the claim.
