Rotate Legal Alaska Construction Liens Forms For Free

Under Illinois law, a mechanics lien should be filed in the County Recorder of Deeds where the property is located. This is crucial as the lien must be filed not only in the correct county but the correct office as well. The fees and specific document formatting vary depending on your county.

For both residential and commercial projects, general contractors and subcontractors must file a claim of lien at the county auditor's office in the county where the work was performed within ninety (90) days after the last day labor, materials, equipment or services were provided at the site.

For the most part, all contractors, subcontractors, laborers, design professionals, materials suppliers, and equipment suppliers who provide labor or materials to a property in Texas are not required to have a written contract (a verbal contract is sufficient) to qualify for the right to file a lien.

If contractors and suppliers don't get paid on a construction project in Alaska, they can file a mechanics lien to secure payment. A mechanics lien is a legal tool that provides the unpaid party with a security interest in the property.

A person who uses an unlicensed contractor may sue the contractor to recover all money paid for the work they performed. A contractor may not sue a property owner to recover compensation for work on a contract unless he or she was licensed at all times while performing the work.

Those who are caught contracting without a license likely will have to appear before a Superior Court judge to answer to misdemeanor charges that can carry a potential sentence of up to six months in jail and/or a $5,000 fine, as well as an administrative fine of $200 to $15,000.
