Lien Deadlines
All States
I worked a project for contractor; contacted them several times for payment, at they were making payments; but after all of the back and forth, I filed a lien. The lien expired a few months ago -- I did not know about a follow up; I need to know the next step after an expired lien.
CaliforniaWe are a GC in Arizona. We received a conditional certificate of completion and a letter of compliance both from the city. Do these documents shorten my lien rights to 60 days? Also I notice the laws state the deadline begins after "completion of the project as a whole". Both the conditional certificate of completion and the LOC reference just the completion of the shell with TI work still to be done. The TI work is to be completed under a separate building permit. Does this extend my lien time to after the TI portion is completed as well? Thanks in advance for your help.
ArizonaHello, I have a lien on a property that we had done work on and never got paid, I haven't been able to collect payment on this project yet. What can i do to enforce the lien
TexasWorked on an electrical house rewire directly for the owner. Am licensed. worked every day for 40 days and took 2 days off that were notified about. He fired me for no just cause and owes approx $9,000. Had deposited $11,000 on a $20k job. I had not filed any notice previously. Last day of furnished labor was June 18th, 2021. Now he says I OWE HIM MONEY! false. Can I still file a mechanics lien since I was in direct contact with property owner and last furnished labor was 70 days ago?
FloridaWe are a subcontractor in CA that has been promised payment for well over a year. We filed a ML in April, but no response, no communication. It's understood, this project has been a problem child for numerous subs.
Understood, we are past the 90 days to enforce the lien. Where does that leave us? Do we start all over?
CaliforniaI am a Plumbing Sub Contractor working on a commercial project. I finished my work on the job 2 months ago but haven't received final payment. My customer can't get money from owner and they are not paying me. What do i do?
TexasWe filed notice of mechanic lien and sent certified mail that was returned to sender. The GC, resident, and property owner all returned to sender. Also, GC sent a reply that he's not going to pay. So, our question is we have not completed the 90 day notice of mechanic lien process so can we file the actual mechanics lien today without jeopardizing our remedies, and recourse of our claim? We also sent them service of notice in person.
TexasHello,
I am in Colorado and I filed an intent to lien to get my final payments moving from a project that has been done a while. On 8/30/21 my lien rights will be gone and Levelset is unaware of Colorado's ability to file extensions of notice of intent to lien. I really DON'T want to file a lien. I am just hoping to get their attention as well as keep my rights open. Please advise since Levelset is missing the extension step in their processes.
ColoradoThe City of Hammond, IN put a lien on my property 5 years ago after paying to knock down my warehouse after the roof fell in. No further action has been taken. Does this lien ever expire or need to be renewed or enforced?
IndianaWe are a subcontractor on a large industrial project. The last day we were on site was at the end of May 2021, however, we did not receive a final change order until 08/10/21. We billed the job 100% including retainage when we received the change. I added the end date on the project as 05/30/21 when we received the change order and the notice of lien is due 08/30/21. There are no outstanding unpaid invoices on this job except for the 100% bill and retainage sent last week. Are we able to use the date we received the change order as the end date on the project? Should we file a lien notice on the due date of 8/30 given the only invoices unpaid are 3 weeks old?
FloridaIf I lent money to a person and he gave me the title to his car and or property, what kind of lien would I file against him?
TexasWe are a general on this work over $30k. The initial notice was not filed - does that mean we can not lien for the funds still due. Was the notice required in order to lien?
CaliforniaHow long will a lien stay on a property before it will need to be continued. Is it one year or more?
North CarolinaI never filed for the notice of lien agent, I thought the homeowner did this. The job started on April 28th and ended August 2nd. The owner is refusing to pay $5600. Can I still lein?

My company served as a subcontractor on a construction job here in Florida. The Contractor has stopped paying us and we are past the 45 days to file a NTO because we didn't think they would stop paying us. We still filed a NTO but it may not be honored at this point.
The job has since momentarily shut down due to weather, contamination, complaints, and poor management. We are owed over $20,000.
What is our recourse if the NTO is not honored?
