Frequently Asked Questions
What is a Construction Lien?
In simple terms, a construction lien is like a safety net for people who work on construction projects, such as contractors, subcontractors, and suppliers. It’s a legal tool that helps them make sure they get paid for their work and materials.
Imagine you’re a contractor who has just finished building a new house for someone. You’ve put in a lot of hard work and spent money on materials and labor. Now, you expect to be paid for your efforts. However, sometimes the property owner or the person who hired you might delay or refuse to pay you for some reason.
This is where a construction lien comes into play. It’s a legal claim that you can place on the property where you did the work. It’s kind of like saying, “Hey, I worked on this property, and I haven’t been paid yet.” This claim is registered with the local government, and it essentially puts a hold on the property. The property can’t be sold or refinanced until the payment issue is resolved.
So, a construction lien helps you protect your right to get paid for your work. It gives you leverage to negotiate and make sure you receive the money you’re owed. If all goes well, you’ll get paid, and the lien is removed. If not, the property may eventually be sold, and you’ll be paid from the proceeds.
In a nutshell, a construction lien is like a financial safety net that construction workers use to ensure they get the money they deserve for their hard work.

The construction lien process can vary depending on your jurisdiction, as lien laws differ from place to place. However, Lien On Me can provide you with a general overview of the typical steps involved in the construction lien process in many jurisdictions. Keep in mind that you should consult with Lien On Me to understand the exact requirements in your area. Here are the general steps:
1. Contract and Project Commencement:
– A construction project begins with a contract between the property owner and you the contractor, subcontractor, tradesman or supplier.
2. Work and/or Supplies Delivered:
– You (the contractor, subcontractor, tradesman or supplier) provide services, labor, or materials as agreed upon in your contract.
3. Non-Payment:
– If there are payment disputes or the property owner fails to make payments as per the contract, you may consider a construction lien. This is where Lien On Me becomes your best resource. We will handle all steps of the lien process for you.
4. Notice-To-Owner:
– In some jurisdictions, you are required to send a notice-to-owner (pre-lien notice) to the property owner, general contractor, or other relevant parties before filing a lien. This notice serves as a warning of the intent to file a lien if payment is not received. Lien On Me will prepare and serve the notice on your behalf.
5. Lien Filing Deadline:
– There is typically a specific deadline within which a construction lien must be filed. This deadline varies by jurisdiction. Important! Do not delay in contacting Lien On Me or calling Lien On Me as time is of the essence.Y our Construction Lien Request should be submitted at least 10 business days prior to the deadline. No request will be processed if received by Lien On Me less than 48 hours before the 90th day.
6. Prepare Lien Documents:
– Lien On Me will research, gather and prepare the necessary documents, which often include a lien claim form or statement of claim, copies of invoices, proof of delivery or work completion, and any required supporting documentation.
7. File the Construction Lien:
– Lien On Me will submit the lien documents to the appropriate government office, typically the county clerk’s office or a similar entity.
8. Serve Notice of Lien:
– Lien On Me will provide notice to the property owner and other relevant parties, such as the general contractor, that a lien has been filed. This is often a legal requirement.
9. Resolution or Legal Action:
– The property owner, general contractor, or other parties involved may respond to the lien by paying the outstanding amount, negotiating a settlement, or contesting the lien in court. Lien On Me will conduct the negotiations.
10. Foreclosure (if necessary):
– If the lien is not resolved through negotiation or payment, you may choose to initiate a foreclosure action, which could result in the sale of the property to satisfy the debt.
11. Release of Lien:
– Once the outstanding amount is paid to Lien On Me, or the dispute is resolved, Lien On Me will release the lien by filing the necessary paperwork with the appropriate government office. Failure to release the lien when it’s no longer valid could result in legal consequences.
