When filing a lien, can we include interest accrued in the lien amount?

Generally, no. South Carolina mechanics liens are allowed for: "the value of the labor or material furnished [to the property]" and "costs of the action and a reasonable attorney’s fees..." However, these must be determined by the court if the claimant is successful, and they shouldn't be included in the lien claim amount itself.
