FAQ
Legally, an unpaid contractor, subcontractor or supplier can file a lien (sometimes called a mechanic's lien) that could eventually force the sale of your home in place of compensation.Conversely, if the contractor who worked on your project does not pay for materials, a supplier could place a lien on your property.
In fact, the subcontractor doesn't have any contract with the owner neither written nor verbal!However, presuming that the subcontractor on the project has a written contract with someone, they can still file a lien even if they don't have a written agreement with the property owner.
A lien is essentially a claim for repayment of a debt. In the construction context, a lien is of considerable importance because it offers considerable power to a subcontractor to seek payment from an owner through the property itself for a debt owed to the subcontractor by a general contractor or other third party.
If a general contractor refuses to pay his subcontractors, they can make a claim against the payment bond. The surety company will pay out the subcontractors for at least part of their money and take the contractor to court.
The simplest way to prevent liens and ensure that subcontractors and suppliers are paid is to pay with joint checks. This is when both parties endorse the check. Compare the contractor's materials or labor bill to the schedule of payments in your contract and the Preliminary Notices.
Invalid Liens A lien stays in the county records and on your property title until you take action to remove it.If the contractor, subcontractor, laborer, or material supplier fails to follow any of the specific time frames, you can petition the court to remove the lien.
Prepare lien form, taking care to include the necessary information as set forth above, and sign the document with the verification statement. Send the original notarized copy to the office of the clerk of the district court of the county in which property is located.
