A Mechanic’s Lien is a claim on property made by a contractor who has performed work on the property. A contractor is given the right under Arizona law to file a Mechanic’s Lien for unpaid work. The contractor will need to record his interest in the real property in the county where the work was done.
Subcontractors must understand how Mechanic’s Liens work in order to protect themselves from nonpayment by general contractors. Both general contractors and buyers/owners also need to know the process and laws related to Mechanic’s Liens in order to protect their legal interests.
