Frequently Asked Questions
What is a mechanics lien?
A mechanics lien is a legal claim against real property filed by contractors, subcontractors, or material suppliers who have not been paid for work or materials provided. It encumbers the property title and can ultimately lead to foreclosure if the debt is not paid.
How do I calculate a mechanics lien deadline?
Enter your state, project type, claimant role, and the relevant trigger date (typically the last date you furnished labor or materials). Mechanics Lien Management calculates all applicable deadlines automatically.
What happens if I miss a mechanics lien deadline?
Missing a mechanics lien deadline is generally fatal to your lien rights — you permanently lose the ability to file a lien for that project and that unpaid amount. This is why accurate deadline calculation is critical.
