I'm not personally aware of a minimum amount for North Carolina mechanics liens. But, if the amount is relatively insubstantial, the cost and headache of a lien filing might not always be worth it. Or, pursuing other recovery options first - like sending invoice reminders or a Notice of Intent to Lien might be useful to exhaust all recovery options before opting for a lien filing. If you decide a mechanics lien is right for you, these resources will be useful: (1) North Carolina Mechanics Lien Guide and FAQs; and (2) How to File a Mechanics Lien in North Carolina – A Step-by-Step Guide.
