Mechanics Liens must be recorded by a "subcontractor" within 90 days of "completion" or "cessation of work" and a general contractor who has a direct contract with the owner must record within 90 days of completion or of cessation of labor, unless completion or cessation of labor has occurred.
In South Carolina, a claimant who has filed a mechanics lien will have 6 months from the last day on which the claimant furnished labor and/or materials to the project to enforce their lien.
Subject to some exceptions, a lien for materials, services, or wages may be registered any time up to 45 days from the day the last materials, services, or wages were provided, or since the contract was abandoned. After those 45 days elapse, the lien expires.
Mechanic's liens create a cloud on title, meaning that they appear in public property records. Liens are sometimes said to travel with the land, meaning that anyone who buys your house would take the property subject to the contractor's lien (or, more likely, demand that you pay it off first).
When a contractor files a mechanics' (construction) lien on your home, the lien makes your home into what's called security for an outstanding debt, which the contractor claims is due and unpaid for services or materials.
A South Carolina mechanics' lien claim must be filed within 90 days after completion of the contractors work. A lawsuit to foreclose upon the South Carolina construction lien must be brought no later than 6 months after the claimant ceases to furnish labor or materials.
To perfect a mechanic's lien, the contractor, subcontractor, or supplier must file a notice of mechanic's lien with the Register of Deeds or Clerk of Court of the county where the real property is located and serve the property owner with notice and a copy of the lien within 90 days of the completion of the work.
