FAQ
When a contractor files a mechanics' (construction) lien on your home, the lien makes your home into what's called security for an outstanding debt, which the contractor claims is due and unpaid for services or materials.
A mechanics lien is a legal claim on the property for unpaid construction work or supplies. Once claimants file a mechanics lien in California, the owner's property turns into collateral, allowing claimants to secure the service they rendered or the supplies they provided.
First, you must file the lien claim in the office of the Clerk of Circuit Court of the county where the property is located. After you've filed the lien claim, you must serve the property owner with a copy of the mechanics lien within 30 days from the date the lien was filed. That's it!
In Wisconsin, a potential lien claimant must file a mechanics lien within 6 months after the last day on which labor and/or materials were furnished to the project, but at least 30 days after the filing of a Notice of Intention to File a Claim of Lien.
