Yes, you can occupy the home while contesting the lien. You can also bond off the lien if it is creating a problem with your refinancing.
Yes, you can occupy the home while the lien is pending. You should consider filing a Notice of Lien Protest to accelerate the filing of an action. If you need an attorney give me a call at 770-390-9950. Josh Stone. Firm is Stone & Bellus, P.C.
