I'm not totally familiar with the law in Arizona, but generally an owner may bond off a lien. If that is done, you will need to get the bond information and file a claim with their bonding company if payment is not made. Here's an article you can read about what bonding off a lien means: https://www.levelset.com/blog/dont-be-afraid-of-threats-to-bond-off-your-mechanics-lien/.

Yes the homeowner can bond around the lien thus removing the encumbrance from the property. If you have questions about the lien process and bonding around the lien I suggest contacting a lawyer who practices in that jurisdiction.
