A contractor or subcontractor that has provided labor and materials for the improvement of a property and has not been paid is entitled to lien rights against the property. Contractors are any party that contracts directly with the owner. This can be an architect, construction manager, engineer, or laborer.

Any person claiming a lien shall apply therefor to the circuit court of the circuit where the property is situated. Such "Application For A Lien" shall be accompanied by a written "Notice Of Lien" setting forth the alleged facts by virtue of which the person claims a lien.

After demand and refusal of the amount due or upon neglect to pay same upon demand, the lien may be enforced by action filed in the circuit court of the circuit in which the property is situated.

In order to obtain a lien against your property, a contractor, subcontractor, or material supplier must go to court and show that goods or services for the project have been supplied but not been paid for. You will be notified to appear and defend against these claims in court.

Contact the filing entity directly for detailed information regarding the lien. (For example, contact the Internal Revenue Service and/or Hawaii Department of Taxation for unpaid tax liens.)
