Liens Explained:

Under Mechanic's Lien Law, the two broad categories are a public lien and private lien. The determination of which type of lien to is appropriate to file depends on ownership of the subject real property and the source of funding for the project.

A. Public Lien. A public lien must be filed within thirty days after final completion of the project is achieved. This time limit does not depend on when a subcontractor performs its work or when a supplier delivers its materials to the project. Instead, the period of time within which the lien must be filed is measured from final completion of the entire project. Some public agencies issue certificates of final completion so that this time frame can be determined. Most often, as long as the public funds have not been fully dispersed the lien will attach.

B. Private Lien. A private lien must be filed within four months of last performing work or delivering materials to a project if the project is a residence or within eight months if the project is commercial in nature. A private lien has a duration of one year from the date of filing and can be extended for an additional one year by the filing of a notice of extension of the lien, except for single family residences which require a court order to be extended.

In either case, before the expiration of the lien, a Mechanic's Lien foreclosure action must be commenced in order to preserve the lien. The Mechanic's Lien foreclosure action requires a summons and complaint be filed and served. Typically, a notice of pendency also must be filed.
