Our customer is making payments on an overdue contract. We would like to file a lien in the event that they discontinue paying. How long is a lien active and can it be renewed?
Good afternoon Erin,
Here is all the information on Arizona lien law
In Arizona, a mechanics lien is effective for 6 months after its filing. An action to enforce the lien must be initiated within that period of time. If this 6-month time period passes without an action being commenced to enforce the lien, the lien expires and is no longer enforceable.
Also, when a foreclosure action is filed, a lis pendens will also need to be recorded in the county recorder’s office within 5 days.
Please let me know if I can answer or help any further. Thank you.
