Reed F. Morris, Esq. "How do I file a mechanic's lien?"

Make sure to start the process early to give yourself enough time to comply with the statute that permits mechanic's liens. A mechanic's lien should be filed no more than 120 days after the last work. However, the process begins by completing a Statement of Lien. This must be mailed certified or served; thereafter, there is a 10 day window. If payment is not made within that 10 day period, then you can file the lien on the public record with the Clerk and Recorder in the county where the work was performed.
