You have a mechanics lien if you are a contractor who provides labor or you supply materials for the construction or repair of a house, building, or improvement.  Your lien will cover those improvements (and fixtures).
 
Tip – protecting the lien requires quick action so do not wait if you’re owed money.

PS.     Depending on the circumstances, these groups have mechanic’s lien protection as well:

  • Landscapers and irrigators and suppliers
  • Engineers, architects, or surveyors
  • Demolition crews
