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
