If contractors and suppliers don't get paid on a construction project in Missouri, 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 mechanic's lien must be filed with the Circuit Court in the county where the real property is located. Once a mechanic's lien is filed, the contractor, subcontractor, or supplier must then file a petition to enforce the mechanic's lien in the proper court within six months after the filing of the lien.

Missouri does not require that lien waivers be notarized in order to be effective. However, there are specific signature requirements that apply to residential jobs.

A Missouri Notice of Intent is a critical step to secure your MO mechanics lien rights on private construction projects. This Missouri lien notice form is required to be sent by any potential claimants who did not contract directly with the property owner at least 10 days before filing a mechanics lien claim.
