Mechanics’ Liens
Who files mechanics’ liens?If you’re having work done on your property either by a contractor, subcontractor, or supplier and you haven’t paid them, they may file a
mechanics’ lien against your property.
Lien waivers
Some property owners ask contractors to sign a lien waiver either before the contractor starts work or as the work progresses and the contractors have been partially paid. By signing a lien waiver, the contractor agrees to not file a lien on your property.
