Deposit the Lien Amount with the Court: A lien can be removed from the property if you file a lawsuit and deposit the lien amount into the court's registry. This allows the parties to litigate the validity of the claim, without the lien encumbering the property.

A lien is a document that gets publicly filed in the Texas county clerk's office, in the county where your property is located. There are 254 counties in Texas, more than any other state. The contractor would file the lien in the county where your home is (not necessarily the county where the business is based).

But just because the lien expires does not mean that it is automatically removed from your property. You can remove a mechanics lien only by one of two ways: The contractor records a release of mechanics lien; or. You file a petition with the court to release the mechanics lien.

When a lien is bonded off, a payment bond is available to pay off the lien. This provides a guarantee for payment to the construction firm and allows the property owner to be able to sell, finance or transfer the property without fear of a lien on the title.

Property owners with great credit typically pay a premium in the range of 1% to 3% of the required bond amount.

The process of bonding off a mechanics lien starts after a claimant has filed a mechanics lien. After the claim is made, a general contractor or a property owner can contact a surety bond company to purchase a surety bond that replaces the value of the lien that was filed against the property.

A Texas mechanic's lien release bond is a statutory mechanism available to any person with interest in the real property or to effect delivery of lien free property to an owner. The Texas lien discharge bond rules are defined in the Texas Code (Sec. 53.171. Bond).

What is a bond to indemnify against a lien? For the bond to be effective against a subcontractor's lien, the general contractor must file it among the real property records in the county in which the property is located. Additionally, the bond must be in an amount that is double the amount of the lien.

Lien bonds are required by anyone that has a contractual obligation to remove a mechanics lien from a project. Most often this bond is used when a general contractor is having a dispute with a trade contractor and the trade contractor files a mechanics lien against the property to protect them against non-payment.
