A construction lien bond is used by a property owner to remove a construction lien that was recorded against his property. This is often necessary when the owner needs to sell the property or refinance a loan secured by the property but cannot do so because the construction lien is clouding his title to the property.

When the lien is bonded off, the surety company (or, in the case of a general contractor bonding off the lien itself, the general contractor) is guaranteeing payment of a claim if the claimant prevails in court enforcing the claim.

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.

Note: This summary is not intended to be an all inclusive discussion of Montana’s construction or mechanic’s lien laws, but does include basic provisions. What is a construction or mechanic’s lien? Every State permits a person who supplies labor or materials for a construction project to claim a lien against the improved property.

States differ widely in the method and time within which a party may act on their lien. Also varying widely are the requirements of written notices between property owners, contractors, subcontractors and laborers, and in some cases lending institutions.
